Has anyone here ordered/installed the Rugged Ridge XHD front bumper system? I really like the modular design and flexibility, but was curious about it's strength.

4wd.com has the winch mount bumper for 349.00. Not a bad price considering it has cutouts for driving lights and includes D-rings.
Here's some additional pics:

 

It looks like it has a lot of options, but most people would just pick one and stick with it. They probably wouldn't be changing the bar ever. I personally would get what you really wanted, rather than get something like that just because you can change a bar.

 

the first one is secsi

 

This one would be great for states that have bumper width laws. It goes from stubby to full length in seconds...... Won't even comment on that....

 

Well that's my problem I honestly don't know what I want, but I've got money burning a whole in my pocket. Haven't made my first payment yet, but will have some time off over the holidays to play

I really like smittybuilt SRC's, the shrockwrocks, and the PJ stubby. Figured I could buy the center section, winch, and add lights then decide which way I'd prefer, but didn't want to make an investment into something that wasn't going to hold up either.

 

Very interesting idea, I just checked it out quickly at 4wd. The center section only with D-rings is $349. Hoops and ends are extra, still not a bad deal and you can change your mind cheap enough!

 

Nobody? I emailed Rugged Ridge (Omix) last night to get some additional info on the bumpers. I've yet to find any reviews or real specs on them.

Depending on what I hear from them I may go ahead and buy a set and try it out. I'll post back my findings.

 

I didn't realize they weren't shipping yet. I actually was looking at the shrockworks 1st and after finding out they were made to order (4-6wks) shipping I started looking at alternatives. Plus not knowing if the stubby is what I wanted/needed it would give me options without buy completely new bumpers.

 

Im wondering if this bumber includes/allows the use of OEM hardware to mount the factory foglights or are we going to have to fabricate something

 

hmmmm, I thought I read that they accepted the factory fogs, but maybe I assummed that

OK i found it....From their new prod catalog
