Hey JerKies - I'm looking for your suggestions on a front bumper and winch combo. I've got a 2008 rubi unlimited, stock up to this point. thanks. jim

 

As for front bumpers...there's a ton out there and it's pretty much up to your personal preference, budget, and what you plan on doing with your Jeep.

Check out this thread it has all the bumpers available and should be of some help.

Winches are pretty much the same...are you going wheelin' every weekend?? What is your budget????

 

I'm saving up for the AEV Front bumper with the WARN 9.5si winch.

Something to keep in mind - if you live in a state that requires a front license plate, you may (depending on which bumper you chose) need to purchase a license plate bracket.

 

nawthat's friggin rude if ya ask me?

 

Get in touch with Mitchell at Bulldog Fab(forum sponsor) and he'll make you anything you want, for a fair price, too!

 

Rugged Ridge XHD modular bumper with Warn XD9000i winch, does me just fine.

 

highrock bumper and smittybilt 8k

 

It is all personal preference on the bumper. I don't think you would ask me to tell you what your favorite color or favorite food should be, now would you? As far as winches go get a Warn. You want a name brand one because you want to know it will work when you need it, so don't cheap out on the winch.

 

Do you have any criteria to work with? Probably the first question is the width of the bumper. Do you want a full-width, stubby, or a mid-width (which is inbetween the former two)? After that start considering options such as hoops and stingers.

I have Shrockworks front and rear and they are great.

 

Hey man I have a 2008 Rubi as well and I looked a long time to find something I liked. I got a LOD shorty bumper and found a great deal on a 9500lb Bull Dog winch. I have used them since Nov. 07 and no problems. The shorty bumper also allow you to put your wheel up on anything....
