So I have the rugged ridge xhd bumper with fog lights, but I saw a jeep with the smittybilt m.o.d. Bumper with the stinger and fog lights and winch plate and I am very interested in swapping out. I just wanted to get some opinions from fellow jeep people whether or not y'all think I should just keep the bumper set up I have or upgrade to the smittybilt. The first few pics are of my current set up and the last two are of the jeep I saw. Thanks!!

That smittybilt looks good and you will have a reason to buy a winch if you swap bumpers lol

I don't have the mod bumper but its the smittybilt stinger (basically the same with exception you can't put end caps or different bar on). Love this bumper it's solid!!

I saw somewhere that the Smitty weighs over 100 lbs, is that right?

I like your current bumper, but think the Smitty MOD one would look better -

I'm not a huge fan of full width bumpers, but that Smitty with the stinger looks good. I think you will like the fog lights mounted to the outside as well, it helps throw a wider light pattern. I would go for it.

I say go for it, it'll give you the ability to mount a winch to your Jeep, which is always a nice thing to have. I'm also running the Smitty stinger and it's a pretty beefy bumper. I have pulled off it a few times and it's held up great. I know the M.O.D. is a little different, but I don't doubt you'll be happy with the product. The option to add on or change components will be cool because you can always have a different look for your Jeep.

Hope this helps, if you need anything please let me know.
