[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 458465, member: 24042"] I've built both our current Jeeps primarily with stuff purchased through Amazon. As far as Bumpers go, I bought two sets of these front and rear bumper combo packages. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HKMT543/?tag=jkforum-20[/URL] As I recall, I paid about $600 for each set. The thinnest metal involved is 5/32" steel. The fit and finish are excellent and I like the styling. If you're building a hardcore rock buggy and want to use your bumper to break rocks that you can't crawl over, you won't be happy. If you're building a driver that sees some off highway use on mild to moderate trails and can expect the usual contact, these are fine. I've run difficult trails with mine and had contact. I've tugged on it with a 10,000lb winch. No damage at all.
