Default Rampage front bumper or other?

Bout to pull the trigger on a front bumper. For a 2012 jkur
Want a full width bumper that ends come up to meet the fenders. ( can't believe stock bumper has the big gap between fender and bumper where the tires spit up junk on the bumper)

I liked the aev bumper cause of its clean lines but it won't take my warn power plant. Like the storage capes of the rugged ridge and the weight of the xhd aluminum.

But now I am favoring the rampage front bumper
Holds warn powerplant, strong, fog lamp combatible , ends meet the fenders, killer looks.

Your opinions are welcome

I had one on my 07 and really liked it. It was very well made. I have the R.Ridge with the storage ends on my 2010. It isn't as strong as my Rampage was but is still nice. The storage ends are handy but not quite water tight. I drilled a drain hole in mine and keep my things in heavy duty ZipLoc baggies.

You might want to look at or fabs new full width bumpers. They do make one for the warn power plant. The ends come up to meet the fenders with the oem lights as well. Also great prices. Check out their web site I already ordered mine just waiting. Good luck with your choice

Default Rampage bumper and Vacuum relocation ?

Thanks guys, just pulled the trigger on the rampage recovery bumper for my 2012 JK. I have heard conflicting things that yes it does require vacuum relocation and some say it doesn't, and some say only if I have a winch. I do have a warn power plant .

Any thoughts.
