Got my JKU Sahara green 2011 2 weeks ago after waiting 4 months for delivery.

Trying to decide between some bumpers.

Rear fullwidth to match stock fenders and tire carrier to hold 35" (all have pros&cons):
-Exp 1 linked to door, can use stock hitch receiver but no back light

-Lod 3rd gen linked to door, back light but have an integrated hitch receiver

-Shrockworks can use stock hitch receiver, back light but not linked


Front:
-Shrockworks stubby winch mount, winch bar hoop, shackle/recovery point, built-in light tab for aftermarket fog or driving lights & included removable skid plate (no OE fog cut-out!?!) but love the lines of bumper!

-Poison Spyder Brawler (optional winch mount on top), with Brawler bar, D-ring mount, accept OE fog lights

-MBRP stubby winch mount, winch bar hoop, D-ring mount, hi-lift jacking point & accept OE fog lights

-Lod shorty winch mount, winch bar hoop, D-ring mount, accept OE fog lights (bumper seems to stick out far on the front??)

-Or-Fab stubby (optional winch mount on top), winch bar hoop, D-ring mount, accept OE fog lights


Want to know if somebody on the forum have opinions/experiences/comments about these bumpers (rust, squeek, thoughness...)

Thanx
sorry for kind of long post

 

I've got the OR-Fab front stubby w/ hoop, rear sheet metal and tire carrier. Love them all. Superb quality and function, fit and finish is tops.

The OR-Fab front stubby is really nice and has great angles. Retains stock fogs as you said which I really like. Lights looks awesome above or below the hoop.

The OR-Fab rear has a nice wrap around design and matches up perfect with the fender angles. I find from the rear it has the most pleasing lines as well; goes great with the Jeep's look. Very beefy and not cheesy thing angles, if that makes sense. Refer to the Rugged Ridge for the wispiness look I speak of.

 

Yes, I tought about Or-Fab tire carrier since it looks very cool and seems to hold and work great, but I feel a little bit chicken about drilling in my brand new Jeep!

 

For what it is worth, shrockworks explains on their site that in order to do the OEM fog light cutouts on the stubby, the bumper would have had to extend out another 5 inches (impacting approach angles), so they decided against putting them in. The mid width looks really good and does have the fog light cutouts, don't know if you had looked at that one yet. I really like their failproof shackle mount design too.. probably the bumper going on my JK

 

Yep I red exactly on their website what you are saying in your post.
And yes the midwidht have the fog ligths cut-out & looks really well. There is just too many bumpers!!
