Just got a very nice unexpected check.
Finally able to do the remaining things I want to my Jeep.

Here is what I am looking at doing

1) Front Bumper: I will not be running a winch, I know this for certain. I want something that has a loop on front (small loop, the winch protector loop) but I can live without that. I want something that has built in fogs like my stock bumper and where I can also mount fogs on top.

I am looking at:

Hanson Medium Fenderbar with built in fogs and the winch guard (if I can get the plate off due to the winch opening all the better but if not I am sure fogs will still look good on it)

LOD Mid but again what to do about the winch... It has the opening for the winch to sit down in at and the opening for the rope.

Shrockworks Mid yet the same dilema.

I think the Hanson may be the best option of all for me but Id like opinions.

Rear bumper, I want something in a shorty with reverse lights so I am mainly looking at the Shrockworks. I like the LOD Mid Signature but it seems it only comes with a tire carrier that I do not need as I am running 33's

Rock Sliders.... I need some help here as I really don't need sliders but I need a step of sorts, something to appease my fiancee. I like the Shrockworks and know they will make them angled down a bit for this reason but 8 week wait OUCH!!!). I like the LOD Sliders but don't know if they will make them to be used as a step. Any other suggestions?

I am putting my lift and wheels on just as soon as my package arrives

PS I am not running a winch as I will not use it and it will not be taken care of like it needs to be so it would be a waste of a winch and money... I know MANY will say get a winch but I have thought about it a LOT and just don't need it.

 

PS with the sliders I would MUCH rather bolt on instead of some of the ones where
you drill holes into the Jeep

 

Call David Johnson at Northridge 4X4. He'll help you get the best bang for your buck.

 

I know Dave is GREAT and I have ordered most of my stuff from them
but I just ask here to see if there are other manufacturers I should
look into that they do not carry...

Odds are I will go with Dave/Northridge for the rest of the parts but
just looking at all my options

 

Just curious if you have considered the Rugged Ridge XHD Modular. You can get it just as you described for under $500 delivered. Its Chinese made....if that matters to you, but it is exactly what you described.

I have needs similar to yours, but think I am going to go with the Iron Bull. I like full widths and prefer the looks of it.


Good luck and enjoy shopping!

 

FIND OUT WHAT HOT CHICKS LIKE AND BUY THAT!!

 

X2 I can't agree more

 

David at Northridge is great. He doesn't handle Shrockworks, though. If you really want any Shrockworks hardware without the wait, check with Screamin' Lizard (another forum sponsor). There is a cover plate if you don't plan to install a winch--$109 option. And you probably know this, but their rock rails do require drilling (any decent rock rails will require drilling to ensure the strength needed is there).

 

Buy as much gold as you can.

 

hahaha NOOOO gold or chrome on a Jeep YUCH!!!
If I move to Dubai perhaps but not here in the US!

To be honest I was not aware their rails required drilling, either way
they do not drill into the body panels on the side of the Jeep which is
what I meant.

I just need to know which rail will make the best step! I like the Shrockworks
and I also like the LOD but I wonder if the solid tops would just accumulate snow
and ice here in the Michigan winters making them a more dangerous step.
