This bumper is so sick I love it. They shipped the wrong one at first but where fast to correct it

So I ordered a bumper and some of the peace’s where wrong so I contacted them about the kit they sent me and they got right on it fixed my order and got it back out to me and I must say damn there shits cool thank you guys so much for making me a high priority….

Easy to assembly arrived already bent to the correct angles and easy to weld.

I purchased this diy bumper on their Black Friday sale. Even at the regular price it’s well worth it. Item was shipped within their estimated lead times. There were a few missing parts but they rectified it over the weekend and I had all the parts needed to complete it. This bumper is by far one of the easiest DIY bumpers I have ever assembled. Instructions were found online and it was easy enough to assemble based on the photos provided. Everything fit together perfectly. Tacked it in place to verify fit and it needed zero tweaks. Fit my Warn 10K winch no issue and it looks great. The only minor (very minor) design criticism I have with it is the recovery eyes and the space underneath the winch. The recovery eyes fit like a glove, but weld only to the front plate and not directly to the bumper mounting bracket or winch plate. While I’m sure it ties in without issue to the main side plate, it would be nice to be able to connect it directly to the winch plate and/or side plate. Only other thing would be the gap between the winch plate and the lower plate. It’s just an open area behind the bumper and I’d be worried about it deflecting if I was to place a hi-lift or similar jack on it. But for the price, this can t be beat and it’s no issue to gusset that on my own. Would 10/10 recommend dirt bound diy bumpers.

Order lead times were very accurate. All the pieces fit together very nicely and welded up great. The instructions are not so much instructions but more “here is how it looks with all the pieces together” after about 5 minutes of looking at the pieces and “instructions” it is clear how it is supposed to go. After installing the mounting plates it fit to the frame perfect. Took about 5 hours start to finish with a 45min lunch break to let the metal cool before finishing the rest of the welds. Overall very happy with how it turned out. Quality stuff!

Good fitment. Accurate bends. Simple to finish out.

Awesome bumper! Super easy to put together and install. Didnt even test fit to the jeep, just welded it together and slapped it on there. Fits like a glove!

This bumper fit together great. The pre bent pieces made it very easy. The YouTube video on the DirtBound channel made it simple to put together. The 12k Apex winch I bought bolts up perfect to it. Highly recommend this bumper to others as it’s the best looking winch bumper on the market for an XJ.

Very easy to weld together. Everything fit together perfect.

Great bumper! Parts were all cut and bent perfectly. Was a lot of fun to build.

Buzzed up in about 45 min. Very simple. Pieces fit together perfect.

This was the best dirtbound product I've used so far. The steel seems to have a high carbon content compared to other bumpers I've assembled and is well suited for stick welding or welded on the hotter side. The short length looks awesome and is very rigid and tightens up the front end nicely. Also used the stinger hoop and everything fit together well

I am very impressed by the quality of this DIY kit! The cuts were extremely clean and accurate. The bends were all accurate. I only had to use my clamps in two spots to draw it in about a 1/8 inch for a perfect seam. My bumper went together almost like a Lego set. If you are on the fence about one of these kits, just go for it. You aren't going to find a better looking, better designed DIY bumper out there that can touch the Dirtbound Offroad price point.

Love this bumper and the price!!! I posted the bumper after I welded it and ppl been asking about it. I will be buying more soon.

It come with everything I needed to install it on my MJ jeep.

Didn’t buy this for a jeep so I don’t know how it fits. I bought it to use most the parts for use on a Nissan truck

Finally got it welded up and installed. The bumper looks great! I can’t wait to get a winch for it!

Awesome bumper, NO TRIMMING OF METAL REQUIRED TO FIT TOGETHER, absolutely love the way the bumper fit. Highly recommend!!

Haven’t welded it up yet, but everything looks excellent. Didn’t take as long to get it as I thought it might. Rear bumper is next.

Fitment was great quality is perfect highly recomend.
