Anybody have Recommendations for front winch Bumper for 2012 Rubicon? I looked at Rugged Ridge XHD but it requires relocating vacuum pump? Also you can't replace fog lights if they burn out too easily.....

 

Look at the smittybilt XRC atlas

 

some sunk and hidden others deck mounted , I realy am very pleased with the posion spyder mid front bumper I just got put on . and if I add a winch at some point , no plates , or anything is needed . these are solid . its like armory . optional elec disconnect skid is a good piece of mind as well . Oh and fogs you just use the oem.

 

This is the Ranch Hand bumper,keep in mind not all type winchs are compaitable with low profile bumpers case in point with mine I had to do the deck mount or top mount because the motor on the side of the Warn 9.5cti either didn't fit or set offset in the low profile bumpers ,I learned my lesson on buying winch first

 

I have the LoD Signature Mid-width. Allows use of the factory fogs placed somewhat wider that the factory configuration, which I like.

I wanted the winch to sit all the way down in the bumper for airflow and protection. I also remotely located the solenoid. Works great and has held up very well.

 

My poison spyder brawler lite was a breath of fresh air to install - very pleased with it. You do not have to relocate or drill anything, simply mounts up. The only thing that might turn people off is that you have to have it painted. I had mine powder coated with a wrinkle finish and it looks great.

Also will accept factory fogs or any of the after market designs. I put rigid Duallys in mine with the brackets.

 

did it include a fairlead mount?

 

Love my Warn Elite
Warn Industries - Mounting Systems: WARN Elite Series Front Bumper

 

I have the TJM stubby bumper with a Warn M8000 in it. This combo allowed me to install the bumper without relocating the vacuum pump. I just had to raise it (v-pump) 2-inches.

 

I like JCR's line of stuff. They have some new bumpers out now too. This is their Dagger model.
