Default I need help! Can't pick a bumper

OK
Getting my OME lift installed in the next couple weeks.
It is sitting in the garage waiting, I am putting the AEV Argent Pintler wheels
wheels on it. My jeep is the steel blue Rubicon unlimited. I am going to run BFG AT's in 33 on it.

I want a front & rear bumper and I am not running a winch.
It wont get enough if at all. I have no need for it.
I do not want chrome or anything shiny (BLECH)

I want a front which has built in fogs and cant take a pair on top.

I want a rear with built in back up light and I also like to have a trailer hitch. My JK currently has the factory trailer hitch & wiring

Sure Id love the AEV or ARB but I just can't justify that much on a bumper.

Please help me come up with some nice looking choices which fit my wants.

Thanks!!!

Did you check Q tec? No brainer would probably be Rugged Ridge.

I have looked at the Rugged Ridge
I just don't know about a modular system....

Also it didn't look like they had a rear with back up lights

Check out LoD bumpers. I think they meet your criteria.

I've been checking out bumpers lately and I think a LOD bumper front and rear is exactly what your looking for. They are reasonably priced also

Thanks
The LOD does look like a great option.
I wonder what they offer if you don't want to run
a winch so you don't just have an open hole.

I will have to contact them tomorrow.

Thanks!

The Mopar front bumper would work too. They make a non winch version with stock fog light provisions. I'd also look into a Warn bumper.

I'm leaning towards the Warn in case later I decide I want a winch. I could just buy the winch plate if I wanted to add it later.

Check Smittybilt as well, practically all of their bumpers are on sale on 4WD's website. The front is a definite match for your requirements and I am pretty sure they make a rear bumper with light mounts... Dont quote me on that though lol
