Default Having second thoughts ...

I got my new Rugged Ridge (omix-ada) HD bumper with center hoop yesterday, but I'm starting to think I like the looks of my stock bumper (with fog lights) better.

I don't think I'm going to install it. Of course, I won't really know until it's on ...

Why? Isn't it what you expected? or is it just buyer's remorse? It's one of the best looking bumper outhere... Put it on see how it looks, and if you don't like it sell it back.

Craftkr has one one his jeep, saw it in person last month, I was drooling over his bumper and he was drooling over my lift, it's gonna look good put it on! Who needs stock fogs anyway Just add one of those 42 Xmitter bars on the top of your jeep

It's the non-winch. I figured I'd add a couple of lights later - maybe Christmas.

I like the looks of the stock bumpr myself... all these after market bumpers are outrageously over-priced...if only they would make the OEM bumper in steel

Christmas lights would really brighten up your bumper. LOL
