Nice !

 

Yes both, the ones you posted just a bit ago

 

I went with ace because I really liked the build quality on their rock rails

They offer a mid width front bumper which I have and I am very happy with it!

What do you guys think of this bumper, and do you see any advantages from the winch mounted on top ?

I might think it would be easier to maintain and protect the winch with a cover.

On this bumper the winch is mounted 2" lower to help the cooling flow.

 

Here's my JCR Midwidth Crusader with full sunk winch.Prep.and paint for the bumper and skid took a combined 6 hours allowing for 1 hour dry time between coats.Used self etching primer with Black Chipguard paint over top.The paint is what some auto manufactures use on the lower rockers (has an orange peel or crinkle type finish) which matches the JK ABS plastic surfaces pretty close.
Was not looking forward to finishing myself but wasn't bad at all even with rattle cans.
I can attest to the quality of JCR's product....Very nice stuff.

 

Another good looking bumper but didn't find any reviews on the web.

 

I found the LoD Armor Lite is most attractive to me for its flow shape and light weight because I may use my JKU mostly for expedition, the mid-width, pre-runner are very functional to me.

This bumper won't be as tough as those built of 3/8" or 1/4" but as one guy mentioned in previous posts, I think this weaker bumper will be the sacrifice part before the frame goes wrong, so less damage in the case that something has to give up. just my 0.02

 

Just to update the thread,

Finally I went with the Expedition one core front bumper.

I just place an order and will post pics and review once installed.

I also ordered a Warn Zeon 10-S winch.
