I just installed the Rugged Ridge XHD bumper with end caps and waiting on my hoop. I installed the Smittybuilt XRC8 winch. I think i got the bumper, end caps and winch for around 828.00 thru 4wd hardware. I also got the lifetime warranty on the winch. So anything that breaks or goes wrong its replaced. I like it so far. It was an easy install the winch bolted up really well.

 

Im looking into a new winch bumper in the future as well and Im not trying to hijack the thread but I couldn't find the bumper comparisson thread.
I really like both the Smittybilt XRC and the Rugged Ridge XHD. Im leaning towards the XHD because it has the holes in it to put the factory fog lights in and I like the end caps as well, but I wanted to find out form the people who have it, along with the Center Hoop, does this hoop have any tabs for additional fog lights. I have not seen a picture anywhere with additional lights so I am assuming that it doesn't. Im sure that you could probably drill a few holes but I just wanted to avoid that.

 

Thank you all, these are all very helpful. I really like the look of the xrc does anyone have pics of the xrc on a relatively stock jeep

 

I like my ARB bull bar. I't's lite weight but durable.

 

MORE Rock Proof front bumper and a XRC10 winch on an otherwise stock JK Rubi. I have hit this bumper on rocks and it hasn't dented yet. It is very durable. I welded the light tabs on myself, they don't come with it.

 

No I don't think it has holes for lights but I think you can get some brackets that can clamp to the bar. You will have to search for them

 

is instialation hard on it?

 

I like how low the winch sits in that bumper. Does that bumper only come in stubby.

 

no they have a full sized one called the src just search smittybilt on quadratec and you'll find it

 

Hey water, did you weld the end caps or just fill the cracks before you painted it? Looks really sweet.
I am planing to weld mine on (when I get it) to make it a little stronger.
