    Well, since they might save your life one day, I wouldn't want to go cheap. Contact GZP or some other used parts source and get em second hand.

    That makes no sense, an 8-point roll cage costs as much as the two bumpers. Higher cost isn't a direct correlation to more protection. I'm not talking about the Stock bumpers, I mean the front single bar they have to fit the 99 bumper and front mounts. So its not like I can contact gzp and get a used one.

    That's the price it takes to make it worth their while.

    The alternative is that they stop carrying them entirely.

    you can use your stock crash bar with an FMIC and 99 front end.

    Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly. I thought you were talking about stock crash bars.
