    Hey All,

    Anyone know where I can find this style front bumper? I've been digging through all the usual parts sites, but the closest I've found are round tube style bumpers. Specifically I'm lookin for one that has the grill guard.

    Thanks in advance!

    This was the optional addition to that bar. i.e. the bull bar

    Step One - drill out front bumper to lighten it by 3 pounds.
    Step Two - add 50 pounds of brushguard.

    More like an abused credit card and a JC Whitney catalog....
    I used to sell that stuff to the farmboys.
    One season and the chrome would come off in sheets.

    I think I still have one of those ‘80’s chrome bumpers with the holes. The chrome is still pretty clean, but the bumper is made from maybe 12ga sheetmetal. I can twist is a little by hand just grabbing the end.

    i bought mine from J.C.Whitney in the 90's just before they stopped carrying them. About 6 month later I tried to get one for my son's Jeep and the were discontinued. As noted above, you can get the bumper but not the bar.
    I didn't use the holed bumper, I used 4" C channel and drilled 4 holes to mount the bar. The bar has survived 2 accidents with just a few dents.
