Default Help with Front Stubby choice! Or-Fab, Rock Hard, ACE, Rugged Ridge

Hey guys,

I need help making a front Stubby bumper choice. The winch going in it will be (most likely) the Warn 9.5cti.

Criteria if possible:

1. Hoop guard (non stinger)
2. D-ring mounts
3. Factory Fogs
4. Light weight yet strong
5. Recessed winch area
6. Bike black (Sahara)
7. Hijack lift points

I've narrowed my search down to these four (I think)
Post your bumper pics if possible.

Thanks!

Not to complicate things, but you should also look into the new offerings by JCR. Their new dagger series stubbies are sick!

Check this one out.

The JCR doesnt look too bad, but it has more of a stinger look. Also, I don't want to have to paint anything. Thing looks solid though

Been running ours for 2 1/2 years now and love it. D-Rings have held up for multiple pulls and the thing has taken a beating and held up nicely over time.
