The only reason I got $400 is according to insurance, only the "bumper cover" was messed up, still its an excuse for a bumper, cheap or not, me wants a stubby!!!
As for the Rancho, Anyone got pics of it with fog lights installed?
Every pic I see online has no fogs...

i have seen all of the bumpers mentioned up close and in person and can tell you that the holes on the rancho are the exact size for your factory fogs and mount to a bracket behind the bumper itself. MUD PLZ is running this bumper now and it is very nice. the or-fab and rock hard are hard to beat as well. serveapurpose is running the or-fab and he can help you with any questions you might have about it and fish is running the rock hard and so he can help you with that.

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR PICS!!! HELP ME CHOOSE
So some a**hole hit me today. My front bumper toast...but lucky for me, he was at fault and my insurance is paying out $400...thus I have a budget of $400 for a new front stubby.
Heres what I want:
Spots for factory fog lights
D rings, or tow hooks
Possibly a winch mount, not sure, if I want to get a winch mount or not
I want something that looks good and not like some super cheap p.o.s.
Any suggestions are a big help, keep in mind my budget of $400. I've looked at a lot of stubbies over time, and am not sure which ones hold up the best (no rust, no chipping of powder coat, etc.).
Also any links to previous posts people know of would be great, I did a search and got like a million results.
Thanks in advance.

I got it from a thread about the TeraFlex basic RockGuard, it looks so similar to the PureJeep, I did a double take too.
Heres the original thread, its posted as the TeraFlex bumper so I'm guessing that has to be it. ---> https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/teraflex-rockguard-basic-bumper-anyone-55717/
I am sort of leaning towards the TF because of the price and I kind of like the sides a little better, but am a little nervous about the "blemishes." Although I'm sure after a couple trail runs it'd be blemished anyway. Just can't decide, I feel like the Rancho looks a little stronger but am not sure...
