Mine is from Nate's4x4 price was right, and it is tough as nails. I have bounced it off of tons of things without so much as a ding in it. However, it does reduce approach angle quite a bit. His newer ones are much better though, they don't stick out as far.

I run an OR-FAB Winch Bumper. I LOVE it. It's taken some serious beating without issue. It used to be one of the cheapest bumpers available, too, but the price has gone up on it.

My fav winch bumper was the OR-Fab bumper. I ran it on BOTH of my XJ's:

Take a look at the DIY Kit from Iron Scorpion. It is about as nice as it gets and you save a ton by welding it up yourself.

It's pretty good. I lost a bit of approach-angle (mostly from the roller fairlead) but not enough to cause me major issues. I imagine I could get a bit of it back going to synthetic line and Hawse fairlead if I cared enough.

Yup i do like it but.... But once the DD is up and running I will put it on that and get/make a winch bumper for my rig

This one looks like an AJ's bumper.

The first is most likley homemade. I wanted very high clearance and better approach angle. The only one out there that met the criteria was this one but it is very expensive so I made my own.

x2. That's my AJ's bumper.

 

[SpartyKrunk]

Yall think AJ's can make me one like this one? Or do they stick closely to their origninal designs?

I run a Warn Rock Crawler. For the most part I like it put as with any winch bumper on an XJ you loose some approach angle.
