Default Recommendations of New Front Bumper

I currently have a 2010 Wrangler 2dr and I want to replace the stock front bumper. Any recommendations of front bumpers? I prefer a bumper that can accomadate the factory fog lights, able to mount a winch, either recessed or on top, and either a bull bar or stinger. It is my daily driving vehicle, but i occansionally go off-road trail riding, and plan on mudding soon. I do not plan on rock crawling anytime soon. Feel free to post pics of your font bumper set up.

I want to be clear. This was a used bumper I had media blasted, zinc'd and powder coated flat black and may not represent the finish you'll find on the one you purchase from Rockhard4x4.

When I got it it was rusted and had been on the jeep I got it from for a few years.

I just installed a shrockworks bumper. Plenty of pics on their website. Long wait but worth it. Install was easy.

Personally I'm a fan of the Mopar bumper on the Jeep Moab 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab front three quarter doors on 1 Photo on September 4, 2012 #255997 from WOT on Motor Trend

i have the rough country hybrid but its the cheapest route i liked to mount up my winch. On the other hand if i had money to spend on my jeep i would get the pure jeep bumper with the full grill cage.

I would also strongly recommend Poison Spyder JK Brawler Lite bumper. It looks extremely well.

Before you decide on a bumper, you need to figure out the size. Do you want stubby, mid, or full width?

Stubby is better for hard core wheeling and large tires. Full width is better if you have deer in your area.

One you figure out size, pretty much every company has all 3 sizes. Look at all the different websites and go wheeling to see them up close.

I like my Olympic 4x4 BOA. Factory fog light compatable. With a winch you need to get their light pods ($35). Or you can get the D-ring mounts and light pods together for around $60. Their winch plate is sold seperate, around $150. They also make a straight and bull bar version. It comes in crinkle silver, crinkle black, or gloss black. Pretty good for the money in my opinion.

Check mine out.
