Default Mopar Off-Road Bumper

According to the Mopar web site the off-road bumper comes with cutouts for the factory fog lights. Is this correct? I have not seen any pictures but the description states so.

Does anyone have any pictures?

I want an aftermarket bumper (full length, no stubby) and I do not need a winch. I would also like to use the factory fog lamps, any suggestions?

river raider is going into production with bumpers that fit the stock fog lights with no need for wire extensions lthat most other bumpers need, you can use stock wire harnesses, Im gonna be getting mine soon not sure how many they have but worth looking into.

the mopar bumpers I have seen dont have the holes, but maybe its an option?

Maybe you should consider the new ARB front bumper....

That's incorrect, they have fog lights you can purchase seperately that mount on top of the bumper. You could however do what I did, make your own cutouts.

I like the AEV and ARB better also. However, I am having a hard time investing $1000+ in something that I am going to bump into things!

The River Raider front is $550, more if you get it painted/coated..

I'm not a rep for them or anything but like the look of it and am considering it as well...

My fave is the AEV, but it's $ prohibitive.

Has this thread been totallly jacked now or what??
