Some more bumper stuff.
ok guys,
I know there are a million threads on bumpers, so I'll make it short:
I'm getting a winch for Christmas: Warn VR10,000.
I would like to upgrade my bumper from the one I have now: Bestop High Rock High Access with Bull-bar and winch plate in Matte-Black (in both my profile and my picture).
Don't really want to debate about the winch, or talk about my current bumper (unless you are in south or central Texas and want to buy it).
My Question: Im looking into the HardRock 4x4 full width steel with lowered winch mount, and the OR-Fab full width with fog lights and recessed winch mount. I might also consider the Warn Elite, but am leaning hard to the OR-Fab. Basically looking for the sturdiest thing I can get. Any comments, feelings, regrets, complaints, or suggestions with these bumpers?
Thanks
Happy Jeeping

09 Rubicon, put on the Warn Elite with my Warn 9.5TI winch and it looks great and protects fender flares in tight terrain. I had a super tight turn and it hit the corner. All I had to do is brush off the dirt.
Only thing the Elite does not have are holes to mount lights if you want them. Holes are easy to drill. If I could add a pic I would. It replaced a Warn Rock Krawler and I like it better.
