The only tube ones that I can think of for the JK that I like are the new(er) Warn ones. Quadratec has them.

Smittybilt makes some (SRC) that are full width. After seeing them mounted that is the way I am going. Now, the ones listed above are nice. I personally can't stand how the MOPAR tube bumpers look. Just my opinion though.

Default Yes.

I liek the one posted above. i was looking at the rugged ridge. I think that is the way I am going. I think they give a more RAW construction look to the jeep. What about performance wise? Do they weigh front and rear ends down as opposed to other styles of bumpers?

Not a fan of tube bumpers, either. Though, they do look better to me on a CJ.
