Default Bumper style

As I will not be taking my Wrangler off road, but like the style of this bumper

My question is, does anyone make this style of bumper that is not made of steel and without the winch slot.

I believe that is the AEV front bumper. They do make a delete plate for the top of the hole for the winch. You can check it out on there website.

I think ARB makes a similar one without a winch.

Yes, but the ARB is a lot heavier than the AEV. Buddy has the ARB and we put it on in my garage, and I've got the AEV. His dropped 1" without the winch mine dropped 7/8 with the winch.

It's the AEV Premium Front Bumper, and yes you can buy a winch plate cover for the top. Unfortunately the fairlead hole will still be exposed in the front. The bumper is pretty lightweight too, around 80lbs so you wouldn't have to worry about excessive sag from your front springs. It's made of 1/8" steel compared to normal heavy duty bumpers using 3/16" or even 1/4" steel.
