like the title says, in the market for a winch bumper and wanted to see if anyone is selling one or thinking about selling theirs before I buy new.

Honestly though, can pick up a brand new RLC for what youd pay for a used shrock or arb bumper.

Sent through an exorcism and salt flavored shotgun shells.

Rlcweldfab.com. They start at 599.99 and James has a quick turn around... Beats shrock hands down and your not going to wait 8 months

I called RLC and Spoke with James, seems to be a stand up guy and someone I would do business with. I advised him that I heard good things about his business and he stated that his online rep means a lot to him.

I was just checking around before I bought.

The gen2 looks really beefy, I would be a bit concerned it would get in the way while approaching an obstacle.
Has anyone had success in moutning a winch and not having to replace the bumper? I came across one thread before about a mount, but was hesistant on dropping $500 when a whole bumper is only a few hundred more.

The 2nd gen bumper wouldn't work for 09+ since we have the larger grill so it would be rendered useless unless he redesigns the front end to accommodate the newer grille style.

Just dremel your grill down.

Hate to say it but every bumper made for gen 2 2009-2014 has to have the grill cut.. I'm with you about not a fan.. Or you can switch out for the old atyle

RLC. I use a Smittybilt XRC8 with the upgraded synthetic rope in mine. I don't get to wheel much, but I did pull a fella's van out of the ditch with the winch and the bumper stayed attached to my X...:smile:

Dave, you need to get down there and have him work on a new design for the 2nd Gens. I'd love to see what a Shrock & Hefty baby bumper would look like haha
