I am looking to get an aftermarket bumper for my JK. As of right now it seems like I am going to go with the Modular XHD Bumper but I am open to suggestion. I am also undecided on getting a stinger hoop or PreRunner guard. I'm also looking to get a winch as well. Anyone has any suggestion on which would be better to go with or a better bumper? Cheers

 

Smittybilt Xrc stinger w/ xrc8 winch. I like this stinger more than the XHD

 

Errrr... I dont have a pic but I also have the Smittybilt Xrc stinger. I use to overlook this one at first but decided to get it for the price..... It was well worth it. I love the stinger and its not to long like others around.

 

Or fab stinger and rugged ridge 10.5k winch. If I were to do it again I would go with psc's new bumpers both front and rear but I'm very happy with my rr winch. Maybe synth line next time...

 

Thanks for the input, let me know if you got have anything else. I got two question though.

1. whats the difference between the stringer and a prerunner

2. psc? I am not familiar with that brand?

 

Look at the pics of the XHD options. The prerunner is more of a wrap around guard, the stinger is a single long hoop.

I should have worded my question better. What is the functional difference between them? Also I am stuck trying to find a bumper that will still be able to work with my aftermarket aux lighting. Thanks. You have any input on the Rugged Ridge XHD bumper?

 

The taller stinger would help more with front end rollovers, and the wider wrap-around would help more with trees and limbs and stuff, I guess?

Fits my stock fogs just fine, might be a bit much to ask for a bumper mfg to have different sized holes for all of the different sized lights out there. Just cut out the holes if your lights are bigger, or add a bracket if they are smaller.

Have it. Like it. Most versatile bumper on the market. (don't recall hearing of any others that have swappable parts) Only issue I have had with it is rubbing my tires on the end caps. 10 minutes to remove them, problem solved. I'll trim them if I ever want/need to go back to a full width. (a recent post from RR indicates they are now making them narrower so this is no longer a problem)

 

My buddy has the XHD with prerunner guard. Note the Rubi near the center of the photo below... By the way, with the winch, that bumper weighs in at well over 200 pounds. If you're running a stock suspension, you will need coil spacers to restore the ride height.

 

A stinger is to help prevent a forward roll over. Instead of your jeep falling on the top, it pushes it off to one side.

to my knowledge a pre-runner is just like a tube bumper, or a normal one. Correct me please
