94 County Front Bumper - 1/30/2008 9:00:09 PM

I just took my freshly lifted county for the first off-road. I ripped off my front bumper and factory brush gaurd, along with bending the front tie rod and some other damage but I need some advise of what to replace it with. I don't really want to spend the $1000 for the ARB or the RoverTym. Are there any other bumpers out there I can look at. Not to mention I actually like the look of the stock one better than the ARB. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Brad

My first suggestion might be to slow down and learn how to drive and spot your lines on a trail, how you could do so much damage is beyound me.
As for parts, there are lots of places to find used parts, depends on where you live.

Believe it or not I actually can drive off road. I got stuck trying to get through a mud hole that has about 4 inches of ice on top of it. All of the damage was done while I was being pulled out. The front bumper let loose and part of the brush gaurd broke off.

I lost mine too in the mud. Before we threw out the dam, we removed the fog light brackets and used wood as lateral supports (12"X1X2) for the lights and they are rock solid. Also got some heavy skidplate material from a metal shop and had them bend a skidplate for the front that protects the trans cooling lines and bends down to guard the oil filter and steering rods (somewhat). One problem we saw was how exposed that oil filter was without the airdam. We used aluminum 1/4" skidplate but smooth would work as well. Had to remove the skidplate when we installed the 10K winch. if I can get the picture post worked out I'll post a pic to give ideas...
