I think a lot of the answer begins with how you use your Jeep; if you do a bunch of off-road then go with the bumper, but if you use it more on the highway as a DD then maybe the Superchips is better.

id agree 100%.

if you have a stock jeep, get the bumper.

superchips will not help a stock JK as much as it would a JK with a lift/tire combo.

Do you have a winch sitting around waiting to be installed in the bumper you buy?

If so, I'd get the bumper. If you don't have a winch, you might consider it as well as a bumper capable of having a winch installed...

Just sayin


Happy Trails

Appreciate the feedback...I have a 2.5 Lift with Pro Comp 8179's, Cooper Discoverer STT's 285/70R17s K&N Per. Filter amongst a few other mods...but a lot of my week the Rubi is my DD. My weekends and holidays are my playtime but my Jeep is far from stock. Thanks fellas appreciate the input, and I think the DD side of my life would appreciate the Superchips!
