is it here yet, is it here yet - ACE midwith bumper is coming!
Just got a call from the shipping company, my ACE Midwidth Stinger bumper will be here tomorrow!
Can't wait to get it on, have my Engo 12k winch ready to put on as well.
Now have to figure out if I am going to need a leveling kit to compensate for the weight of bumper & winch.
Anyone know for sure?
I have a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited, stock suspension - for now.
I work nights so can't get into anything too involved without getting some rest before work.
Pics will follow, hope to have it on by the weekend

Where does the fairlead go? If it does in fact accept a winch, then this is the bumper i want too. Ive been looking for one that has the fog light holes and accepts a winch. Well at least a mid width, was trying to find a stubby, but havent seen any. But that bumper is pretty sweet.

ACE also has a stubby bumper if that is what you want, I got the Mid width with stinger. They have them with Bullbar (lower bar) or no bar at all.

Well, got my bumper mounted and all I can say is - I love it!
This thing is freaken awesome, put it on by myself with the use of some jack stands and lots of patience.
Mounted the winch, then the foglamps, then put it in place on the frame horns and tightend the frame bolts.
The winch does not have the control box mounted yet as I am going to mount it under the hood so had to get longer cables for that.
For the control switch itself I have something special in mind, I think it will be sweet
Here are some pics of my Rubi getting her strut on with new nose ring.
