so i have a chance to buy a new front bumper for my jeep but i dont know which one i like more......

on the one hand the lod Jeep JK Crawler Front Winch Bumper with Stinger guard.
advantages being able to crawl over big rocks, and looks bad ass
disadvantages no fog lights, lack of side protection for the wheel, have a big stinger hoop in front of my jeep to worry about and look at

or

the lod Jk Signature Series Mid-Width...
advantages have fog lights, gives my jeep a little better look, better wheel protections
disadvantages doesn't have as good as an approach angle as the crawler front bumper

they both have spots for a wench and are both steel...i just dont know what i like better =[


or if anyone els has any cool bumper please show!!!

 

I voted for the mid-width, I like the look better and I guess it will come down to whether or not you end up finding a third style you like and what kind of trails you plan on hitting the most.....

 

LOD is one of the best looking front bumper around and for that reason a lot of people have them. I when with Shrockworks for that reason and I think they are made as well as any other out there. The Shrockworks stubby doesn’t have a spot for the fog lights like the LOD but it doesn’t stick out as far as the LOD.

 

I like the mid width, but I won't be doing any rock crawling. I like the idea of a wench hanging on the front, too. Will she be wearing a pirate outfit?

 

they both look pretty cool, but i think the stinger looks meaner. Ive been looking at the stinger with the foglights in it,

Do you really lose that much approach angle with the extra room they spend so the fogs can fit in?

 

I vote for the Mid-Width. I've actually been trying to decide between the full-width and mid-width myself. Depends on if I end up going for the expedition/overland look or the trail look...

 

I have been looking at both of those and my question is what is the difference between the stubby and mid-width bumper dimension. Specifically the measurement from the grill to the very front of the bumper. From the pictures it looks like the stubby is significantly longer, but I can't find any measurements or side by side shots to compare.

 

You can get the LoD stubby with fog lights, but without the stinger

If I had the $$, I'd go AEV.. Just sayin...
