THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR FUTURE thoughts. Title says it- I have $1000 to spend. I know, its nothing and its somthing, all wrapped into an obvious debacle of "what to do, what to do." Operatively I would like a bumper/tirecar/rearbump/side step/rockrawlers to match. But, 1000 won't do that. Maybe front, rear, and sides? I do like an aggressive look. I like the stinger concept (not sure whether the parking garage's security gate will... I do not rock crawl, so I don't need a killer heavy duty bumper set up. Don't want crap crap either. I have a white ruby, 09, unlimi, 3'lift, 35' MT atz, and 17' MT Black MT'II. Besides that, the bit@#$ is stock. Thanks again for suggessions. I'll be looking and taking all of them seriously AND I'll be buying w/in the next week. Olympic? Boa?

Go to ACE Engineering, you'll be close to $1000 and could end up with a front bumper and a rear bumper with tire carrier. Probably the route I take anyhow.

Looked at AEV, Expedition One, and a lot of others. Decided to go with ACE for build quality and price after looking for well over a year.

Check out my pictures. I am running the Smittybilt SRC Rockers with a Smittybilt Stinger Front bumper. The two of those will run you $700. Also have a Smittybilt SRC-8 Winch which is $300. Heres your $1000.
