Look for opinions to help me decide
Well i've got a few grand that i'm going to spend on my JK and CJ5 and i'm debating on 2 front bumpers. I'm deciding between the Expedition One DX and the RR XHD. Here are pics of both. I've searched for several hours and it's really a toss up IMO. Pictures listed below I took from the different threads on the forum.

Out of those, the Expedition One would be my top pick. It has a no-nonsense look and isn't too expensive. I like how that one was painted red. Not my style, but it was different in a good way.
The LOD looks good, but it looks like it sticks out really far with the lights in front of the winch.
The Rugged Ridge is pretty boring unless you add the stinger to it. Not sure how strong the bolt-on stinger is but it looks cool. That winch hoop is too square for my taste.
Personally, I think the Shrockworks stubby looks the best. I'll be ordering one in the next couple days, but it does cost more than the Expedition One, so I'm not sure if you are considering it. I do like the Expedition One skid better than the Shrockworks skid though.
Thats my $0.02, and with the value of the dollar where it is, that doesn't count for squat. Pick what you like and do it.

Thanks for the .02. I won't make a decision on what I read but it may help the decision process.
