Detours Slim Line Bumper ?	Permalink

Looks like I will be sending some business to one of our sponsers in the day or so. I've looked around, and I like his fit, and the rear rocker protection. Has anyone tryed one of Detours bumpers? I like the smoothie because it wil match my body, sliders, and front bumper. He tells me the diamondplate it more stout. So, that made me question my first choice. Looks are important to me as my Jeep is part of my small business presentation. So I'll throw it out to my fellow XJers. Opinions? Diamondplate or smooth? -- Edited by SwissArmyJeep at 18:23, 2006-05-09 __________________ '93 XJ, Red 2dr. 2.5L, Manual 3"BDS, 31"BFG ATs, D30 & C8.25 4:10 gears NoSlip in both My Pics and Specs

Smooth, diamond plate I think it will be eaier to scratch paint off. __________________ 88' Red XJ - 5" Custom lift, 35x12.5 BFG MT's on Black Rockcrawlers, Rusty's TrackBar, Custom Bumpers and Roof Rack, Tube Doors, Homebrewed OBA, Trimmed Fenders, No sways, Bedliner on Rockers My Pics and Specs

i like diamound plate personally. i think it looks better. no other reason. as for paint chipping i think there won't be a difference between the 2. __________________ 75 cherokee, 360v8, th400, np203/np205 doubler, HP d60, 14 bolt work in progress... My Pics and Specs

that's a tough one really.... i'd go for matching what's already on your rig. one thing though, i think in theory, the diamond plate would actually keep more paint on if something scratches or bumps against it, because of all the raised diamonds... less exposed immediate surface area.... depends to on the size of the object scratching it. eh, just my 2 cents....

Well swiss you have created a real problem, diamond or smooth. I think you should get the smooth and put it on your daily rig, them get a diamond one a find a trail rig to slap it on! kidding aside, I am alos looking into thier bumpers and sliders, I think i will go smooth, cleaner look for me! __________________ MY happy place is dark, so YOU cant see the scary things!
