JCR CRUSADER. Looking for info
After an extensive search I have narrowed my bumper choice down to JCR Crusader or LOD mid-width. Leaning heavily toward JCR
Few questions
1). Anybody have an opinion on the JCR bumpers. Figure this crowd is never shy
2). Also considering the Crusader fenders. Thots? Seen plenty of pics in my research, but is anyone running these on 2.5 lift and 35s? If so, would appreciate a pic.
3). JCR offers a vented front fender liner. Was going to just run stock plastic. Upside/down side to the vented liners?
Thanks for input!

I had the LoD Signature Mid-Width on my 2012 JKR. Beautiful, heavy duty built bumper. I recommend it.
I liked the sunk winch mount to keep the radiator free of obstruction.

Been waffling. Like both because they have the recessed winch mount, don't weigh a lot (compared to others), and Rear bumper has light cut outs.

I've personally visited and been inside JCR's manufacturing facility in Portage MI. I can tell you that all of there products are very well made and tested. I am purchasing front and rear bumpers from them. I can't say specifically on the liners but I'm sure there are some benefits like added protection but I can't say for sure.

Here's my Jeep on 35s with a 3.5" Rock Krawler lift . I run the stubby as I like the approach angle better. I'm also running the JCR classic sliders, Crusader rear bumper with the Shield tire carrier.
I like the fenders, the extra reinforcement bracket they add makes it even stronger, and is a big plus to me. Still working on affording to get a set myself.
Advantage of pre-fab vented liners: You don't have to cut your plastic ones and hope you didn't screw them up.
Disadvantage: Only one I can think of is dirt and mud that MIGHT pass through the mesh.

I'll add more praise for JCR, I have their Crusader front and rear, with the Shield tire carrier. Quality is top notch and their customer service is awesome. When I ordered the front, they called me a few days later asking about the front license plate mount, required in MT, and they made sure I was taken care of.

I used to work for JCR and I can guarantee you will be 100% satisfied with whatever products you buy and receive the best customer service from the guys in the front office. I wouldn't run anything else on my jeep and have the crusader rear and shield carrier... Still trying to figure out what way I want to go with the front bumper. Another idea is JCR's sister company Victory 4x4 that is built in house by the same exact welder a with the same quality just different options.
