I've been looking at Jcr Offroad - 67lbs, so also interested in this thread to see what else is out there - JCR is the only one I've found that posts the weight on the website...

I have the hybrid stubby from rough country and I love it. Really easy to put on too.
Olympic 4x4 makes some good stuff too if check out what they got online

Nice, I'll have to look into the RC stubby...I want a bull bar or stinger, so may have to keep looking for something else in this price range.

Just a thought before you go ultra light. Keep in mind if this vehicle is to be driven on the roads it has to be safe. I recently had a head on collision in my 2011 Jeep 2 door. I was hit by another vehicle going 60 plus and walked away with minor injuries. I had the MOD front stubby with the stinger bolted on the day before the accident. The bumper was still intact after the collision however the Jeep was totaled. I plan on getting the exact same set up on my next Jeep. I don't think a light weight set up would have held up as well.

Valid point there. Been there, I rather have the heavier full width bumper for protection.
