I would like to have a stubby bumper and two attachments for when I am on the road. I am thinking that in the unlikely event of a car accident, it would be nice to have a bumper take some energy rather then let the front drive-line take the hit. I drive moron the road than the trail so a add-on flare piece would be nice.

I prefer a mid length, like shrockworks mid. I like a litttle more protection then a stubby has.

Is thier a bump where I can get the best of both worlds w/out a big hloe for a winch?
I am pretty sure Schrockworks or PJ's stubbies come with or without a winch cut out. The ones without usually can accommodate the factory fogs. I have a winch cut-out in mine but I installed a piece of diamond plate in the hole until I can get a winch.

I'm undecided on which bump to buy.
I have no use for a winch living in Md.
I'm torn between the PJ stubby and the AEV.
I like the bullbar on the AEV, but just discovered AEV is not offering the bumper without the winch mount, making this bump a $1000+ purchase.
does anyone know why AEV quit offering this bump w/o the winch mount?
For under 4 bills PJ is looking is the front runner, but I still love that look of a bullbar!

Rubimon I do like that bump, but I really want to utlize my factory fogs.
Very nice ride! Do you think it can be modified to accept the factory fogs?

Yes, if you order it without the winch cut out you can use the fogs!

It doesn't show it as an option on their website, but they have mentioned here on the forum that they would do it. Just give them a call and ask, they are really cool!

You can order directly from them or order through Dave at Northridge 4x4. The price comes out about the same because Northridge has free shipping over $100. Check both ways out!
