I've also played the eAutoGrills lottery on a Smittybilt XRC copy. I say lottery because of the mixed experience folks have had with them. After about a year, it still looks great and is rust free. It also has light tabs on the hoop and I've moved the windshield lights to the hoop since taking this pic.

I've had my JKU for about 6 months now and I am finally ready to put a new front bumper on. There are so many options!!! I was hoping I could get some feedback and suggestions on where to look. There are a few things I am looking for;
Under $800
Winch Mount (although I will not put one on till a later date)
Fog Light Mounts (not a deal breaker)
I would prefer to stay with a mid to full width
I really like the look of the Smittybilt SRC but have concerns over the quality
I also really like the N-Fab JK RWB bumper but have not found a single picture of one mounted up.
And last but not least, I do not do any serious off roading. The extent of my time off road involves getting to hunting camp on logging roads but nothing to serious.
Thanks guys (and gals) for any help!

Loved it, never had any problems, in fact it's still sitting in my garage, both bumpers I mention are from Ace and have factory fog light holes and great winch support, I mounted a warn 10k winch first on the mid then the stubby
Then...I decided to upgrade to lockers and wound up going to 37" tires, and it was going to quite likely rub a bit and need some cutting!
I ordered the stubby version of pretty much the mid width which I really liked...I always liked the look of the stingers, but only liked it on the bigger and more modified rigs, after my overhaul I figured I could pull it off...
I think their mid width would be great for the type of driving you mentioned, as long as you don't go nutty and cram 37's in there!

I just got a new LoD front signature series mid width bumper that I'm selling. Still in the original shipping box and plastic, if you are interested.
