New Logan's Metals winch bumper on my XJ

[mizedog]

I just got my new winch bumper on. I'll post some pics here, but there are more here:

I painted to match the body because it's my DD and I wanted it to look clean.

***** EDIT *****
Well, I finally have some better pics. By the way, my front end doesn't seem to have dropped from the weight of the bumper.

Overall, great, accurate fit. Welds were pretty good. Price and service were wonderful. Feedback is welcome.

Very clean looking bumper. Nice!

I like it!

I would have painted it black though.

Thanks. Since this is a daily driver, I didn't want it to look like a trail-dedicated, beat up rig. I wanted it to be trail-capable, but look decent in the parking lot of the mutual fund company I work for. Besides, the XJ's timelessness is fading and I didn't want it looking old. So, I thought body-color would help it look newer. If it just doesn't look good, I'll flop some blac paint on it (probably Dupli-Color truck bed paint).

My old CJ was blacked out, but that was meant to be.

Winch is coming eventually...

Nice. I have been seriously looking at them when I change bumpers for a winch setup. Seems like a nice bumper at a fair price. Even thinking about their rear one too.

I'd give them a call so they get to know you as a customer. It's a small family shop and she gives return customer discounts and may give you a package price for both front and rear. They gave me a discount in return for sending pictures of my bumper installed (which I still have to do). I'm not sure if this is available any longer or not.

I'll be in Riverside the first two weeks of June. Let me know if you want to see it in person. Maybe we could meet half way...

In the first pic it looks like a small dimensional vortex got lodged in your grill

I haven't installed my small dimensional vortex deflector yet. How embarrassing...

I did have a bra on a Datsun 280zx Turbo I built, but it scratched my paint.

Yep, Rusty's. The cracks and trimming came from the PO, though. My choice would be the Bushwackers.

See first post for better pics
