The rear looks great
Now that you mention it it does kids stick out like a caveman jaw but anything it takes to protect the plastic grill.

Black of course but they also have stainless and chrome for a little extra if you like bling. The bumpers are for sale separately for cheap too.
I think the company that makes them are called Black Mountain. They look pretty sweet from the pics they got on their site.
I'll be ordering as soon as summer money comes rolling in.
I have been debating whether or not to get tube bumpers...I had them on my TJ, seeing them on other JK..I am likin the way they look and for 500.00 for front, rear and side steps you can't beat that..thanks for the info on Collins Bros.

make sure you know your state laws about front bumpers if your jeep is a daily driver. In illinois you have to have a front bumper that extends out to the far wall of your tires. I purchased the full size rough country bumper with winch mount and it doesnt even reach out to the middle of my tires and I only have 33" pro comp extreme mud terrains on pro comp 8179s with 4.5" of back spacing. Now, I cant see someone getting pulled over just because they have a stubby bumper... but say if you get into an accident and rear end someone I bet it could then become an issue. Just a suggestion.

I have both the Rugged Ridge bumpers. They were in my budget when I first started working on my Jeep. They have been great so far, I just need a set of fog lights.
