I won't show you a pic. of my bumper , because opinions are like a$$ holes , everybody has one . I will say that you should pick out a bumper based on what it will be used for . I like to use a shorty bumper because I rock crawl , and having no bumper in front of my tires gives me more access to the tires for large rocks without hitting the bumper.I also like to have a lower winch mount in my bumper so I have good air flow to the radaitor , and for a lower center of gravity . I also like to have lights in my bumper , possibly the factory lights or others . I also like thick steel plate bumpers . So , there are alot of things to think about when getting a bumper , and you should get one that fits your needs . Oh , and as far as a winch , get the best one you can afford , hopefully made in America ! Good luck !

It's a BDS stabilizer. I think it made a slight difference on the road but also just may be in my head. It wasn't very expensive at all so I went for it with the BDS lift kit.

Here is a low budget option, eautogrill front bumper, I'm happy with it. I just ordered the quadratech integrated solenoid winch.
