The FabFours with the Warn 9.5ti is VERY tempting as well!!!

I guess I really wouldnt need yet another set off fogs beyond what
they have in the dash.

Dont need a BB as I have an OME waiting to go on when I get the bumper and winch.

Extra money??? Yeah possibly $200 diff between the two...

I love the AEV but hate having to spend that extra money for a skid plate

I like the Shrockworks, its a bonus it can handle the Powerplant but the design just doesnt have that "cool" factore AEV and FabFours do

Fab Fours looks great but I do not like how I cant have the driving lights and fogs as well...

Its really starting to look more and more like the Skrockworks with the Powerplant.

I must admit I kinda feel its a waste (the winch) as I really dont see a regular need for it but if I need it just once sliding off the road in the winter or something I guess its worth it...

Shrockworks bumper just looks like it should have come on the Jeep. I really like the looks with the skidplate. Go for it!!!

Shrockworks looks the best on the JK. Form factor = function, like the Jeep itself.

I was originally going to go with the AEV solution. It is sharp and looks like it came from the factory. However, the more I look at the Shrockworks mid-width model, the more I like it. It looks stout and tough, but it also looks like it belongs there. This may be the route I go on my Rubi. I also like the fact that it keeps the option open for the Warn Powerplant. I understand the practicality of the stubby in off-road situations, but I think the mid just looks better, like it might have been part of the original design. Just my thoughts.

I have the Schrockworks Mid ordered. I wanted something that would take the PowerPlant, was built sturdy, and looked good. I looked at every front bumper out there and I believe the Schrockworks will work best for me.
