I'd definitely go with the LoD if I had it to do over again (wife would kill me if I dropped another $600 on a new bumper). If not, 2nd best for me was the RR, and last was the XRC. When I was in the market, the cust. rep at Quadratec informed me that Smittybilt's own bumper would NOT accommodate their own winch without modification (minor mod, but still). Couple this with the fact that Smittybilt's quality and turn time on orders has gone down drastically since taking production to somewhere in "Bumfud" Egypt, they just weren't in the cards for me at this point.

Before everyone gets started, I'm not knocking your bumper (if you have a Smittybilt - they have made some really good stuff), this is just my opinion.

 

I've never seen that Hanson stubby before. That thing looks sweet.

 

LoD, Well worth the wait IMO. I have the LoD shorty with stinger.

 

I really like the look of the LoD bumper. I would really go with AEV but the price is double that of the LoD....

 

apples and oranges

LoD is far greater than RR.

For th erecord Hanson is even better IMO....

BUT AEV OWNS ALL!

 

I voted LoD but I built my own before so many models were available.



I just love the look of this picture and I will find any reason to post it!!!

 

Yah i like the homemade bumpers, but the problem is that I dont own a welder nor do i know enough to make my own bumper. LoD is looking good to me.

 

lod all the way

 

I say LOD. I have the RR and love it, but the LOD is much nicer.

 

My vote is for red rock fab, mine should be here in the morning
