Well, how much does the stock bumper weigh and how much does the Wrangler Unlimited Sahara itself weigh?

Thanks!

Front or rear bumper?

Hope that helps!

Well there you have it...

Thanks!

Wow! 27 lbs! Rock Hard has an Aluminum bumper for $1200, but it weighs 37 lbs.

Rugged Ridge has aluminum as well. Both front and rear (though the rear are called bumper pods-though they claim it will still hold the tire carrier)

You're very welcome! I was hoping it would save the inevitable next question, 'does anyone know how much XX bumper weighs?'.

LOL! Well, I wasn't going there as I already knew what the lightest aftermarket bumper was.

But you did save me $1200; seems like I should send you half of that or something.

Now if you could say something to talk me out of lockers for the front and rear....

...So how much is too much bumper?

For me, anything over 27 lbs.

But, realize I'm more interested in on-road gas mileage than off-road advantages, so the less weight, the better the gas mileage. After all, I just added about 90 lbs in the form of a winch and winch mounting plate.

I'll get back to you on the lockers. :rofl2:
