ParadiseGSR Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Are there any other good options out for a front bumper? Any possible Jeep/Xterra/Frontier retro options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I believe an Xterra bumper will fit with a little modding. I was also looking at an XJ bumper, nice & small & it should fit although the Cherokee is about 2" narrower than a Pathy I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyD Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Did this group buy ever happen and or are these bumpers available to purchase somewhere? I assume they will fit an '02 QX4. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaton Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 From my research at this forum and online, the only company that is producing R50 bumpers is tactical armor group. I have heard that they are unreliable and their quality is questionable. Also from my research,I gather that a modified xj bumper will work. The mounting points are suppost to align but custom tie-in brackets must be fabbed. The bumper is also narrower than the pathy's. Dirtbound offroad and rough country both offer DIY xj bumpers for under $500. That might be the way to go since it has to be modified anyway. Smitty-built has a nice xj bumper at a reasonable price also. Ihave not tried any of these options yet so if anyone more knowlegeable can correct me ,feel free. Best regards, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 An XJ Smittybilt or OR-FAB will also most likely be the way I'll go with mine and fab it so it will fit when the time comes. The front bumper is the one thing I hate the most about the face lifted R50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 A quick eBay search turned up some really cool xj options that were well priced too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I was telling duke90 about these guys: http://www.jcroffroad.com/PLST.html. All Jeep stuff. They've got a line of DIY bumpers for $300-$400 shipped free. You just fold the pieces up, weld the seams, and finish it. I figure you could probably weld up everything except the bumper mounts, fab your own mounts for the R50 (or any vehicle really), and be done with it. They even have a winch version. I think the width is right for the XJ/MJ, but it isn't as tall of course so it probably shows some stuff.
