@jensentime249617 күн бұрын
Bolt on aftermarket bumpers are available from Trail Tough. They are tube style which we don't care for that look. Front costs about $673 and rear is $546 and has no tire carrier option. It was more work of course to modify the Jeep bumpers, but we got the look we wanted.

Rick here. Rims are 17X8. Zero offset if I remember correctly. Tires are 265/70R17. I used 2" spacers all ground. Might have been able to use 1" but oh well. Trimmed some off of the rear of the front fenders. Also trimmed some off of the back on the rear, but also my lift moved the rear axle back from regular position.

Is that a smitty built bumper for a jeep? I went to look at a used one for my 2000 2dr tracker. It looked great and the width was correct, but the swing out tire carrier pin was right in the way of the rear door, i didnt mind moving it but in the end I decided it was just too heavy. Did you ever have the stock springs with that bumper? Do you notice the extra weight?

Started out the bumper was a Smittybuilt copy. I then added the Smittybuilt swing out barrier later and welded it in the correct place to allow the gate to open.

I have the 2006 BF 25c9.6 that had the pull out according style steps, I replaced it with the fold up steps from Step Above, I got the 4 step setup wish they made a five step, also no hand rail as the one on the camper works just fine, did have to release the gas shock on the door so it opens wider, but not a big deal as I always keep it open with a bungee cord, to make up the first step I used two steps from the olds ones with six inch high sides so it fits in the basement, all I do is put it on the ground first and let the steps come down on it, works great best investment I made on the camper yet. I also put a 750 lb capacity hitch carrier it fits under the steps perfectly, can put the steps down and they rest on the carrier edge, so need to put the first step down when not required like in parking lots. I did both for around $800 cdn.
