Are you happy with the build and construction of the bumper?

It's do hard to pick one of these things if you haven't seen one in person...

Also there is a big range of prices and its hard to judge the differences value wise

I'm very happy with mine. I got the stubby bumper with the bull bar. Mounted a 8,000 # Warn winch to it. Everything is neat and I haven't had any prob with the quality. Easy to put on. Would post a pic but for some reason I can't never get it to work.

I love my El Cheapo Ebay front bumper. Just beat the hell out of it last week and all is good but the paint. That's not it's fault "sand"stone works much like "sand"paper.

You can still refer to both as "stubby", "mid width" or "full size"!

I have the Rugged Ridge. Take a look at my Facebook page (link is in my signature) and you will see tons of pictures of it. I just added two six inch round driving lights above the bull bar. I don't have pictures of that yet though.

I have been happy with the construction of the bumper. I frequently blaze my own trails and the bumper holds up very well.

I purchased a LoD Armor Lite mid-width, and I do like it. However, I got a chance to see the identical bumper in a stubby configuration the other day, and I like it much better! DOH! :(

It's only a month old, so I'm thinking of giving LoD a call to see if they'll swap it for me... maybe... wish me luck!

Lucky me I just bought a stubby but was leaning towards the mid width! Maybe if I don't like it we can swap. Did you install in a 12? If so how did you move the vacume pump
