    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

    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.
