I have looked and searched for many bumpers trying to find one that fits my needs. I'm not having much luck. Maybe I can get some direction here. I am looking for a bumper that I can add a winch to, that uses the stock fog lights, that is close to full width and that isn't extremely heavy. Some I have found that would work seem to be well over 100lbs just for the bumper. Is this combination out there somewhere that I just haven't found yet? Or is this not possible and I need to start compromising on what I am looking for? Oh and it needs to fit a 2012. Thanks for any help that I can get.

 

I had the same needs, I wanted a full width with winch and factory fogs. I was looking at the AEV, Expedition one and ARB. All are slightly over 100lbs, I ended up going with the AEV which has absolutely amazing fit and finish with a Warn 9.5cti.

The smitty built with the tubes that extend towards the fenders might be under 100lbs but I would bet that the quality is not as good as the above mentioned.

 

I have looked at the AEV and it looks good. I like the way it fits to the fenders. A little more than I wanted to spend on a bumper but may have to. Does anyone know how much front end sag about 150 lbs would be on a Rubicon?

 

Icelandoffroad makes light weight fiberglass bumpers, but if you hit something with that bumper you would probably destroy it

 

I have the arb deluxe & I love it. I wanted a bumper with fog lights, hidden winch, & bull bar. This bumper goes great with the jeeps body lines. I know you would like a bumper less than 100lbs, but fine with this one. It's 135lbs

 

Doesn't the ARB have the parking lights in the bumper? Not sure how well this would work. After adding a winch the total weight would be 180+. More than I was thinking to do. I could add 3/4 spacers if I needed to. I was looking to add d-rings. The cost also would be a concern

 

There some light wieght Alunimun bumper/'s out there.

 

The only aluminum ones I have seem are stubbies. Do you know of any that are full width? I would be interested in looking at them.

 

+1 for the RockHard, it is stout, covers the sway bar disco, and includes everything that you want, but being built with 1/4 it is a little heavy. Any specific reason that you want to stay under 100 lbs?

 

Just want to not have much sag in the front end. Don't plan on a lift at this point, could do a spacer. Had this on my 2008 and it worked well.
