I like the rear bumper, but the front one is way too open for me.

damn i should have bought a set of those when i was in vegas last year. they might have looked at me funny taking them home on the plane though...!

those are really nice bumpers, the only thing i would like different is if they hugged the grill and headlights better, and if the outter tubes were stacked vertically instead of how they are now.

off topic:

man, how do you live in vegas? what a town! i would get into trouble and spend money to no end there, 5 days was bad enough!

sucks man, but it happens. I rear ended one of my 4 wheeling buddy's BII once with my Bronco on the trail

I got the majority of the damage..broken headlight bezel, and grille.

Pics of the Jeep MAN!

Those are some of the best looking tube bumpers I have seen. Do it! Sucks about the damage though.

we were off roading.

we all agreed to deal with damage ourselves, because another guy slid into the back of me doing a bit of damage. there was no way of avoiding what happened. sliding downhill on ice, having no control over your truck has to be the worst feeling in the world. never been so scared.

i almost slid off the side of a hill, the jeep is about the only thing that stopped me

that's a lousy situation, how bad or not bad is the damage on the back of your truck? at least it didn't turn out worse!

i don't know when you turn 21, but if you're interested in a tasteful adult show, check out the Crazy Horse Paris show at the MGM grand.

i also wound up at a place called the Spearmint Rhino. quite the place!

haha i hate drivin on ice last time i was up in tahoe i ended up sliding down a hill sideways not a very good feeling looking out your side window straight into a tree luckily i caught the snow bank first
ne ways it looks like you got the best out of the deal plastic in the cold does not go together
but those bumpers are sick kind of a cross between prerunner and rock crawler i say DO IT!!!

i'll be 21 in less then a year and a half :)

and yeah, the jeep somehow ended up with the worst of the damage

and in the back, a lifted samurai slid into me. somehow he ended up sideways, so all that hit me was the side of his wheel, so i have a little quarter circle on my rear bumper, not a big deal, hardly noticeable.

I used to say that about mudding, but when I get the itch, there is only one way to scratch it. After I slid into a tree, I didn't go back out for a while though. The next time I wen out I kicked the tree that hurt my truck, sadly it only gave me minimal satisfaction.
