OK, i was earlier asking about aftermarket bumpers, and I am getting confused, and I am having trouble searching out the answers...
I am replacing my front bumper, I cracked it, and have to replace it, so I am going for an aftermarket with good approach angle.
I am getting lost by the options and variables out there. I keep hearing people word answers in ways where it sounds like I don't need crush cans, or that I do need them, or that it is better to find a way to mount to the frame, etc etc.
can someone lay out the basics and the variables, including the airbag system, (is it important to keep, can you get rid of it? I hear airbags fetch a good dollar when sold ;-).
I just want a strong, good looking, and "effective on the trail" bumper. But like everything else I guess, I don't want to make a purchase, then find I could have done better, or I didn't notice a particular "problem" or variable before I made the expense.
Also, this is my first aftermarket purchase, and not to sound like an idiot, but who is "RTE"?
I appreciate an light shed on this subject!!
thanks
