there are several bumpers which retain the in-the bumper fogs. (not sure if they all use the factory ones, but pretty sure they do)

AEV, Shrockworks, Bulldog, MORE, FabFours, PJ, LoD...

 

I'm thinking that the Warn front bumper is on my list of upgrades.

 

Thanks to everyone for the responses and recommendations. I'm glad to know that I don't necessarily need the crush cans. I have several bumpers to sort through now before I make my selection. Let the fun begin!

 

I love my PureJeep front stubby! It doesn't have a place for your fog lights if you have them. I didn't care, but could be a deal breaker.

 

Are those the Warn bumpers in your picture????

I currently have a stock 07 Rubicon and the biggest complaint about the bumpers is they get in the way when you want to put your front tire(s) onto some object.

Do the Warn bumpers eliminate that?

 

I have the Shrockworks Stubby, but i like the PJ stubby just as much, i think they both look sweet. I have a PJ rear swing away coming at some point.

I was in line for the new mid width Shrockworks with the fog lights built in that they where designing at the time, but in the end i chose the stubby version. I have a Sahara and was at first not happy about the loss of the fogs. But after getting the stubby on, and actually needing the approach clearance a couple of times, and putting some aftermarket fog lights on it that light more than two outhouses worth of square footage, I couldn't be happier with it. I cant believe i wanted to retain those POS factory fogs, they are pathetic at best when compared to what is available aftermarket. I am happy they are off the Jeep. I am SO glad i didn't get the longer Shrockworks (or any other Mfg.) version with the light cutouts because i know now that i would have regretted it. I have also seen it twice and heard several people complain about the wider bumpers contacting larger tires under full flex.

It's all in what you like & what you are going to use it for. The longer bumpers are fine, and if the lights are important to you, that is cool as well. I am glad I opted for the shorter version with aftermarket fogs, but that isn't necessarily the best choice for everyone. For me it was. It's a lot of coin, and not an easy decision. Good Luck with it.

 

Yes, they are Warn bumpers.
No, they do not eliminate that issue if you're going straight at an obstacle. They do make it easier by giving you a little less bumper on the corners so you can tackle obstacles at an angle. You can see by this picture how far it sticks out.

 

Great question and thanks all for the information I also needed to know. I was looking at the RR modular bumper but now leaning to the Warn.
