All Rugged Ridge Front and Rear Bumpers feature smooth ground welds for an unbelievable look and further rust protection. No other tubular bumper manufacturer goes to the expense of smooth grinding their welds. This exclusive smooth grind process virtually eliminates small weld pockets that never seem to get full paint coverage and tend to rust over time. Finally, all Rugged Ridge Bumpers feature welded end caps rather than plastic end caps. Gone are the days of constantly replacing those lost tube bumper end caps after a long day on the trail.
