I'm not a fan of full length bumpers. Go with the Or-Fab!

I've seen a couple of folks with the Mopar bumper and it really isn't very high quality for the price. I'd run away from it..........

I bought the Mountain Off Road Enterprises front bumper and love it. Great quality and look.....

That Poison Spider stinger in one of the above posts looks real nice!

I know what I want with the bumpers, just not sure which ones to go with.

Criteria: Front bumper with provisions for factory foglights, a front hoop, space to mount off road lights, and the ability to add a winch down the road.

I voted for OR-Fab/Smitty. I like the look of the OR-Fab batter than the Mopar.

I also like this new front a lot
Not trying to hijack, but does anyone know what the bar is on the bottom of this bumper? I like it, but the website didn't show it with the bar.

I voted for Mopar, but only bc I like the full width bumper. I have stock for now. After reading the comments, I don't know what I will end up getting.

Neither. I'd much rather have the Hansen or shrock works mid-bumpers. Hidden winches and right sized

Thanks, makes sense now.
