Default Which Bumper?

Hello All,

I'm in the market of purchasing a front bumper (stubby or mid width) that can be used w/the factory fog lights. This poll choice is purely aesthetics (I am leaning more towards Shrockworks & LoD). I've narrowed it down to 6 manufacturers. Which one would you choose...Thank you..

I went with the Rugged Ridge XHD For the front and rear, the front tow points were modified to accept my sterling tow bar.

I bought the PureJeep because I got a good deal. After using it for a few months, I have found it to be extremely durable and rugged. I don't have the one like the picture with fog lights. I have the winch mount. I don't particular care for the way the one in the picture looks.

I got the LOD stubby, allows the use of my stock fogs, winch mounting between the frame rails and and a front skid to protect the disco motor. I also liked the size of the winch/brush guard, just the right size for me.

Stubby because I get tired of trees and rocks in my way. The stubby help compensate for the bad turning radius of the 4 door.

Those were my reasons.
