Poison Spyder Brawler Lite with brawler bar. Great bumper. Very well made, tough as nails, and looks great. I love mine!!!

I had pretty much the same 'wants' as you. I went with the JCR Crusader stubby with the prerunner hoop. Very happy with it. The bumper has a recessed winch plate, re-uses the factory fogs, and the hoop has light tabs. There are also 2 pre-drilled mounting holes on each side to mount an additional set of lights. Great price, solid build and AMERICAN MADE!

I know your looking for a bumper with factory fog options. But you can always add HD light or a nice set of Rigids on top of this using the factory switch. Made in the USA!

with the optional stinger

I just ordered the lod stubby with stinger. Has low winch mount factory fogs and aux. Light mounts. Comes with a hoop stinger or I think nothing just the bumper.

I just ordered myself a front and rear bumper set... ace engineering. Most of the other bumpers I looked at used a thinner steel plate and cost more.

I have not received them yet so I can't say much about them... but I'm excited to get em (and the Jeep lol... its on order).
