Rear Bumper Group Buy?

I'm getting ready to purchase a Stone Soup Metal Rear Bumper with tire Carrier. I spoke with Doc about current pricing. Currently he is quoting bumpers at $1100 for the bumper and $350 for the Carrier. He did say that the price of the carrier is approximate and may change. With four more bumpers being ordered as part of a group buy, he will knock $200 off the price of the bumpers.

It is tax refund season, so I thought this would be a great time to get one of the best rear bumpers on the market for our XKs.

Give Doc a shout via email if you have any questions. [email protected] I will be ordering within the next week or so. :D

I'd love one but unfortunately spent my tax return already. I had a bunch of stuff that needed to be fixed on the XK.

I do want one but I can't just yet. Bumpers are a little further down the list of mods and a front bumper will come before the rear.

x2... Front bumper is first on my list of "bumper" upgrades; but id still like to get skids and shocks first.

For a good price group buy on a front bumper, id consider moving it up the list though... and even consider putting it on plastic so i wouldnt miss the opportunity (figure how often will there be a group buy for Commander bumpers?)

I totally know where you guys are coming from. My only problem is I need a rear bumper now!

It's in a weird spot. No trimming that I think.

It looks to me like a little Bondo, some sanding, primer and touch up paint. Of course if you are looking for an excuse for a new bumper. Another alternative is to Bondo it and use Bedliner on the bumper.

I know. That is my dilemma, I really want a front too! So do I bondo it and spend the cash funding the Doc front bumper?

If you off road a lot a front bumper is a good idea. You need that protection and mounting points up front. I thought about rear ending the jeep in front of today on the trails to get a new front bumper. He had a steal rear bumper so I don't think it would of bothered him at all. LOL

Here is the thread on using bedliner in case you need it.

It seems like there's at least 3 of us that would be interested in a Doc front bumper.... might be worth considering since maybe we can get a good price doing a "group buy". I wasn't planning on buying a bumper for a few years; but if the opportunity came up where we'd get a good deal on a sweet front bumper, i don't think id pass that up.

Bondo the rear =)

I cannot speak for Doc but I would imagine that if he has the time and can Pre-sell the units (cash up front) I would bet you could get something in production.
