Matching Bumpers
Do you run matching fromt and rear bumpers?
I'm kinda pissed I can't match them up since I went with the RR XHD. I hate the RR full width and won't pay 700-900 for aluminum pods.
I have no idea what bumper to run and everytime I think maybe I think to myself I shoulda just got that companies front stubby. It's annoying.

I run a stubby up front which is very basic in design and not too much of a "bumper", so it doesnt bother me that I don't run a "matching" rear bumper. Yea, its nice to have the lines run the same and/or same finish(close enough), etc.... I mean, I can see if you have COMPLETE opposite designs/finish's, it MAY bother me a little, but there are so many out there, you are bound to find some combination that'll work for you.
I wanted to run a matching front and rear bumper, but money only goes so far.
I have a PUREJEEP front stubby with all the bells and whistles and an OR FAB on order for the rear (non tire carrier setup).
If I ever go with 35" tires I will add the rear PUREEEP rear bumper and tire carrier. For now I will use that money on gas and wheeling my jeep.

Open to suggestions.
No tire carrier. $500 ballpark for cost.
I'm in the same boat, I have the XHD stubby up front and am still debating on the rear. I'd prefer matching, just wish the RR rear didn't extend all the way to the fender flares.
I'm leaning towards the Poison Spyer rear at the moment but that's bound to change.

My jeep is a mutt. I run an ARB deluxe front bumper, an orfab rear bumper and body Armour rails. I spray bedlined my front bumper so they match.
You can get the Or-fab off amazon for $345 shipped, which is a great price for a basic steel bumper.

I have a Warrior Products Rock Crawler in front, an have a Or-Fab Bumper in the rear with LED Backup Light's. If I need a tire carrier I will just add the Or-Fab tire carrier.

I'm a week out from getting my custom made stinger bumper put on. I know I will have a mis matching rear bumper because the stinger is custom made. But I don't really care about matching bumpers. No one is going to stop me on the street and ask if they are matching. No one will care on a trail or meet n greet if they dont match. It's not a fashion show to me... meaning, labels are only labels. Functionality goes a lot farther than a company name. (just my opinion)

It so bothersome I may just sell or return the RR XHD and go with something I can match up.
