    I’m looking to get new off road front and rear bumpers for my 2nd gen and want to see a few in person before I decide. Any places in San Diego that carries different vendors that have samples to see up close. You can only do so much on the web.

    Most bumpers are made to order with multiple month lead times so there isn't really any store around that has any bumpers on display because they sell them before they even exist... especially different brands of bumpers...

    Some OR Warehouse places have front/rear bumpers on display, but it's very limited and geared towards Jeeps.

    I suggest to just bide your time and don't rush. Look at the member trucks here in the SoCal area, ask questions, go on a few meet ups, trail runs and you'll get to see a wide variety in person that way as well as meet new people willing to help and answer questions.

    I've been looking at Brute bumpers in Fresno area. Or is it Brute force? As they seem quite good and a cheaper option then the name brands. Yes still looking good and working better then oem tin foil.

    I run Brute Force Fab front and rear bumpers, quality stuff. Just be prepared for a couple months of waiting, lead time is pretty high for most bumper fab shops.

    Your best bet would probably be to head to some meets and check out fellow owners' trucks. I can show you the Brute Force HC rear, and a BAMF front hybrid on the 2.5 gen.
