I'm looking for ideas on new bumpers. I would like an inexpensive set of bumpers and I don't care about brand unless someone tells me it's junk for whatever reason. Just need sturdy and functional with a winch plate and recovery points. I'm also not opposed to buying a stock front bumper and modifying that if it's cheaper. The rear I would like to have a box receiver built into the bumper for future plans and some recovery points. I'm not married to a brand and don't mind if I have to paint them. Again, not set on anything, just looking to hone my ideas. Thanks in advance.

What I have currently on the front that I need to sell:

The rear bumper is the stock bumper

An example of what I like for the front:

An example of what I like for the rear:

I have LOD and they were on Ebay for $190 each when I bought mine. I always look for deals when buying anything (Po folks problems). 🤫

It would likely be worth it to get a price on shipping it . Hard to find a bumper that nice without going to a Savvy. You would have to go to an AntiRock or Swayloc though
 
*Edit: Motobilit also charges shipping but it's less than $30 so it's still my top pick for the front.

This seems to be the best of the best for my taste and needs. I added the features I want, and the prices all come into the same ballpark. All the front bumpers have a winch plate and shackle mounts, and all the rear bumpers have a receiver and shackle mounts. All of the bumpers ship bare metal and would need paint. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Motobilt front bumper and the Dirtworx rear bumper. Dirtworx is the only bumpers that can't be shipped for free, but they include grade 8 hardware and have the lowest price so even with freight they come out cheaper than everyone else. I appreciate the input and hopefully this helps someone else.

There should be some really good sales in about 3 weeks . I bought my Motobilt front bumper during last year’s Black Friday sale
