Heavy steel bumpers are nice and all but look at it from a different perspective. If you got hit hard enough and the bumper didn't give, the impact goes straight to the next weakest link - your frame. Fixing a bent frame is a lot more expensive than replacing a bumper. I Got rear-ended about 3 weeks ago pretty hard from someone going 45 mph with no braking and my tubular bumper took the hit and basically collapsed in on itself. But according to three different body shops it saved my frame. Now I am debating on which type of bumper to get. I would really like a heavy duty one but if I ever get in that situation again I don't want them totaling my jeep because the frame got bent. Oh and sorry to sorta hijack the thread it just seemed like an appropriate topic for this.
