Default Aftermarket Bumper w/ Factory Fogs?

I am looking for all bumpers that will accept the factory fogs and a winch.

I like the Teraflex other than the fact it is not available yet and their logo embossed in the front which I really don't like. So I have found the following:

1) LOD
2) Expedition 1
3) AEV
4) Teraflex
5) Fab Four

Any others out there I am missing? I like the AEV but not the price so thinking the LOD or Expedition 1 but have not seen pricing yet.

Any other ones and/or comments out there from those of you running these or anything else would be appeciated.

Shrockworks has a new one coming out that is a few inches wider than their stubby, with built in fogs. (or so the story goes)

If you're cool with mounting your winch on top of the bumper, Warn has one...



and PUREJEEP has one available too...

Thanks for add'l info. I have seen the top mount and will stay FAR away from those. Live in AZ, don't need any add'l blockage to the radiator!! From what I have been able to find so far that is out there and factor in the price, the LOD seems to be the best out there right now.

Anyone have any pic's without the winch mounted? Probably won't get the winch for a while and wondered how it would look without it? Would be nice if LOD made a bolt on plate if you don't run a winch that could be taken off at a later time if you decide to go that route. HINT, HINT...

Thanks WOL!!! Was hoping for a better shot of the top of the bumper w/out the winch but those give some pretty good ideas.

Would be nice if LOD make a plate that could be added/removed when you put the winch on. That is a strong hint for LOD here!

I know choosing the right front bumper was diffinently the hardest decision I had to make with my JK I had the warn rockcrawler on my tj front and rear and I loved it but I don't think the warn matches the JK as well as it did the TJ so I was debating between the Purejeep or the aev finally I decided just to go with the aev I just like the way it will accept a winch and the factory fog lights and I also like the fact that it won't look like there is a piece missing from the top if there is not a winch installed plus the mounts for aux. lights. the price was a big concern but I just think it is worth the money.
