Bumper Options - Rebel Off-Road, Motobilt, Artec

[MAG00]

Looking at front/rear bumper options for my '22 JT and kind of narrowed down to a few options. Would love to get some feedback on the below options. Thanks.

- Option #1: Front/Rear Rebel Off-Road. Front: Summit Series with mid height loop. Rear: Summit Series possibly with their bedside slider steps. This rear bumper option has an added step, place to mount rear lights, and can come with rear bed side protection.

- Option #2: Front/Rear Motobilt. Front: Crusher Series with tube bar or Hammer Series with bull bar (this model does not recess the winch). Rear: Crusher Series with corner mounts (allows for rear mounted lights) or Hammer Series (this model Motobilt stated would work with the Mopar rear bed rock rails, but it does not allow for mounting rear lights)

- Option #3: Front/Rear Artec: Front: Nighthawk with stinger. Rear: Artec Gladiator rear bumper (it does not allow for mounting rear lights nor additional rear bed rail protection)

[Artec]

Which one of the JT rear bumpers from Artec are you looking at ?
The Bantam series rear bumper is modular so you can get it with No cut end pod which still increases clearance over stock an you don't have to modify your bedsides. Yes you lose the factory rock rail but they arent that good anyway . The corner pods are gusseted and have some stout brackets that connect them to the frame as well making them extremely strong. There are also provisions to run a 12000 lb rear winch or a receiver in the rear behind the license plate

Take a look at Nemesis, super stout and great looking products!

I would be torn between the Rebel Off-Road and the Artec. They both appeal to me, there are things that I like and dislike about each of them. Artec also has some other stuff that is appealing to me, if they were closer I would be tempted to drive up to pick up some of their gear.

I have the Motobilt Crusher with bull bar, going to be ordering the rear soon. best bumper yet for me.

I have the factory steel rear bumper. If I replace it I'm going with one of those rear bumper delete type things. That isn't the right term, but the ones that make the bumper almost flush with the tailgate. I don't think there are any off the shelf options but in the threads on this forum there are some examples.

In short: more departure angle.

I am leaning towards either the Motobilt crusher or hammer series or the Rebel Off-Road. The Rebel Off-Road rear bumper has the nice feature of the step on the corner and option for rear bed side protection and step. However, I kind of like the styling of the Motobilt.

Rear Hammer on both JT’s

I kind of like the Motobuilt Hammer front bumper. Just curious about having the winch top mount versus recessed like the Crusher series. I like recessed, but I like the lines of the Hammer better. I also want it to have cut outs for front fogs so that kind of eliminates some other options that would allow for recessed What do y'all think about recessed versus not on the winch mount.

Also, for the rear bumper I am looking at either the Motobuilt Crusher or Hammer. My OCD would want me to stick with the same series as the front (for example hammer front and hammer rear). however, I like the side bed rail protection with the Crusher and the option for rear lights on the crusher. I think it would be fine as far as looks and lines to have the Hammer front and Crusher rear. What do y'all think?

Any comments or opinions on this bumper option?
