What front bumper is that? I haven't seen that one before. Where did you get it? Cost? Does it have provisions for mounting a winch?
Figures it's an out of production item. I absolutely love that look. Never seen one like it before. It just stands out from the crowd. Thin, sleek looking, compared to everything out there today. Guess I'm gonna have to scour eBay and such to see if'n someone has one for sale. Let me know if you ever consider selling it. And thanks for the response!It's Currie's V-bumper that is no longer made. They stopped making their Rock Crawler line of bumpers back in 2010 or so. It does have an integrated winch plate and the hoop had a built -in fairlead mount that I cut out and replaced with the light tabs.

That's actually a great idea, @Chris. I have a buddy who runs a streetrod shop a few minutes north of me. I've seen $250,000 (yes, a quarter of a million dollars) rides come out of his shop. I'm thinking he has the talent to produce a rendition of that v-bumper. I'll have to check into that. Thanks for the suggestion!That Currie bumper would be pretty easy for any good fabricator to make. So you could have one made if you wanted!

Will do!No problem! Just looking at that, it wouldn't be hard to make. There's nothing crazy about it in terms of the shape. Let us know if it comes to fruition!
This Savvy one is very similar:Figures it's an out of production item. I absolutely love that look. Never seen one like it before. It just stands out from the crowd.

I do like the Savvy bumper, but it's the V-shape (and the illusion of being slimmer, I guess) that I love about that Currie piece. I'm totally diggin' on that bumper, in a @Chris "Mopar Rock Crawler" bumper kind of way!This Savvy one is very similar:

Looks like aluminum. The mounted one appears to have been polished. Bet there's a huge weight difference over the more typical steel units. @StG58 could run one on his SE...The Savvy one is a bit too short for me, but damn... those guys make some truly exquisite parts. The craftsmanship there is mind blowing. Is that all done by hand?
Indeed - that would be an easy to make bumper that one could either run with a stock or even a Curry Antirock sway bar. I could even make that but the longest time in making one for me would be to grind a bevel on the weld along the front since I could not bend it and would have to make it with a weld between the top horizontal and the vertical front. Of course if one could stack pretty dimes in welding all along there and that was an acceptable look then it would go fast vs grinding a bevel.That Currie bumper would be pretty easy for any good fabricator to make. So you could have one made if you wanted!
Looks good. BDS takes the lead! Thanks for the pics.

I've had BDS 3" springs and shocks for about a year and a half now on my 2000 Sport. They are night and day better than the sagging stock springs and whatever rough shocks the previous owner installed.
I don't really have anything else to compare them to, but I've been satisfied.
For reference, the tires below are BFG All-Terrain 33x10.5x15, which are actually 32.5".

How’s your rake front to rear? Any flat ground pics?
