Help me out! I've been debating about a front bumper for some time now... I like mid-width, possibly stubby. No large stingers but smaller hoops/bars are cool. Must be winch capable. I've only found two I like, if anyone knows another please post it up!

I'm leaning towards the Poison Spyder Brawler Lite Front Bumper with Brawler Bar:



But also somewhat like the ShrockWorks Mid-width Front Winch Bumper:



EDIT:
There were plenty of great bumpers suggested by everyone, I wanted to update with pictures of them all. I'll leave out the ones Hook suggests below as they're so close to this post.

JCR and their midwidth:


Nemesis Industries:


Expedition One core series:


ACE stubby:


Fab Fours:


Wild Boar front bumper (GNARLY!):


Or-Fab:


Expedition One Trail Series:

 

Me personally, I like the PSC Brawler Lite with the brawler bar. As a matter of fact, I'm preparing to buy one within the next few days and hope to have it by Christmas.



There are others that come to mind. I shopped around quite a bit before settling on the PSC, but for the sake of discussion, I'll mention them all and provide some pics I've gathered as part of my intel.

LOD Signature Series (Heavier than the PSC, looks good, comparably priced)


Hansen Off-Road (Heavier than the PSC, looks good, more expensive than PSC)



Rugged Ridge XHD (Lighter than PSC, modular to fit your needs, cheaper than PSC)



Smittybilt XHD M.O.D. (Lighter than PSC, modular to fit your needs, no OEM fog without extensions)



Well, there is something to chew on. Good luck in your choice.

 

I have the LOD mid width signature series. I like the clean lines it has on it, plus the two light tabs

 

Hook, awesome post, thanks for all the detail!

 

Thank you sir! I have many more pictures but could only post 5 in a single post. Let me know if you need other shots of any particular bumper. I have like 53 shots of all the bumpers I've investigated.

 

are you going to rattle can the poison spyder?? if not expensive to get paiting - another $200 at a shop, or so im being told

 

Yeah I was thinking doing it myself... I could use that $200 on other toys

 

I'm considering simular bumpers, take a look at Nemesis Industries. Comes painted, think you might like the look.

 

Sorry, what is JCR?

 

You can order the PSC through Northridge 4x4 and get it powder-coated black for an additional $120. I'm pretty sure that they can get all the "tweaking" done as well. Check with David at Northridge 4x4.

Dang this is good stuff. I love researching the products and then knowing I'm making the right choice.

Don't forget to post up pics of your rig with whatever you do.
