    Thumbs up 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.

    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?)

    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
