4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Hello, I was trying to get peoples intake on what bumper to choose. I like the expedition one without bull gaurd and I like fab four. I plan to put winch in both can I get some peoples pictures instead of the ones just in bumper comparasion. And maybe your experience with the bumper.

While I have not seen the E-1 bumper up close, I can say that the Fab Four bumper is one of the highest quality. Easy to install, and adjusts perfectly to the truck. All 3/16 steel

The Fabfours Is Great But Im Partial To The Expedition 1 Its Just A Bit Nicer In My Opinion

I love the fab fours bumper easy to install but heavy just have to follow instructions exactly when installing all of the parts. would recommend doing a heavy spring up front to support the wight of the bumper and winch combined.
I've seen the Fab fours bumper on a few FJ's but it only looks good in person on the Green monster that they built. It looks really low in the front on a 3" lifted FJ...
I have the Exp1 bumper and love it! It's VERY well built and James is an awesome guy to work with.
In the end, everybody has a different opinion, this is just my $.02
Good Luck!

everyone has different taste. Just buy whichever you like the best. They are both quality products,so really its just personal taste.
Which is the lighter, with the 9.5ti(i think thats the winch that comes with the fab fours). I can't do a heavy spring upgrade because I got the 6inch lift.

The Expedition 1 is 90 lbs with center hoop. I went with E1 simply because of the approach angle looks to be superior. Install was easy. Customer service from E1 was incredible. James was a joy to buy from, which in my opinion makes all the diffrence. However the Fabfours looks like a great bumper as well. Either way you'll be happy.
