I like the RC ones and those are the ones I will most likely go with...But i think the VDP ones look pretty good to..

I have vdp stubby end caps and love them. Quick zip with a sawzall, drill a few holes and your good. Gave me good clearance for getting my tires on the rocks, and I kept the weight up front down. Also added an RR winch plate and qtec 9000si and it's functional and looks great

I'm dicking around on my phone, so I have no way to post any. But if you pull my profile up and look at maybe my gallery or other posts, you're sure to find some good pics bro.

I love the stubby rock bumpers but I want to avoid the extra weight if I can. Weight is a biggie for me. My jeep weighs about 4600 pounds, which isn't bad for a decently equipped JK. So far what I've done has worked fine. When I trash it, I'll upgrade. So far I've done a good job of picking my lines and had a good spotter, so I've avoided un repairable carnage thus far.

You'll like it man. Nothing will liberate you like sawing on a new jeep.
