I'm thinking about the ACE engineering stuff too, fenders and stinger...they are just a short drive into Michigan. And you can't beat the bang for the buck!

I was pretty close to pulling the trigger on the Genright front steel stubby.

Decided on the PSC trail stinger, but it was a bit more than 4.

RR was out, every jeep I see around here seems to have one...

I went with Hyline. It's a good bumper, but weighs in at about 85 pounds. I liked the shape of it. But that's just me. I'm not a fan of the stubby bumpers. But the good thing about Jeeps is that you can customize yours anyway you like it.

Ya, I'm kind of leaning towards ACE at the moment now that it's been brought up. I did a little looking around last night and their stubby stinger seems to be one of the nicest. Reasonable price too I suppose. I'm trying to decide whether I should drive down to pick it up or have it shipped. It's only about an hour and half or so down there. Gas vs. Shipping..

i just came across this and had to chime in. i went with the smitty xrc series with the brawler bar...looks awsome...but i reciently came across wrux bumpers...they make an awsome front stuffy with brawler bar, and a mid width front and a rear with a carrier for super cheap. google wrux bumpers...so about to try to sell my front and rear xrc set up to try to help pay for a wrux front and rear set up.

Front looks a little too much like the stock bumper for my liking. Well designed bumpers though!

If I lived that close I would probably drive down just to see their operation in person... but, I'm weird like that.

Check out OR-FAB. Their stubby bumpers are nice! They also come packed where you are guaranteed not to have any shipping damages even if a bomb goes off. Also they use all the exact mounting points that the factory does, so it's cake to install!
