Now this is a build that the average man can do. Love the snorkel.

I really like the rear bumper but not the front one

I'd been looking forward to seeing the new Venator front bumper (without the upper crossbar), as it looked amazing in their initial promo photos, but now I'm not so sure. It really looks like it'll get in the way of those tires. Admittedly, those tires are WAY larger than I'll ever go, but I'm surprised to see the sides curve back towards the rear so much, as though they really WANT to run into the front tires when they flex

I’d like to see it in its stubby form

Like that the rack they have on the truck bed works with a roll up cover. Even looks like it would work with a hard tri fold.

I like the front but not the rear. LOL. that's why jeeps are awesome.

+1 on the snorkel

At first glance, I like the front bumper. Actually, rear looks good, too! I almost bought those same wheels and I'm kinda jealous now.

Agreed, this one is nice; not over the top.

It doesn't actually have a stubby form. I know, it sure looks like it should, but those side pieces contain half of the fog light holes. I've looked at the pictures of all the pieces not put together, and they would have to come up with separate stubby side pieces for that. It's not convertible like the Jeep OEM one

Yeah looks like you're right.

I like this bumper because it is a lot more flush to the grill. Seems like many bumpers stick out so far (ignoring the stinger bar). Profile shots always seem off. Like it is just hanging out there. B this one seems better.

I'm different from y'all. I really don't like the snorkel and I like the rear bumper, because you can keep the Rubicon corner rock sliders. It would be a bit better if it had cutouts for backup lights.

I really like DRL signal chop on the fender. Not sure but it looks like something new because it looks different then the previous Rugged Ridge chop bracket.

Pretty cool front bumper design for something different. Nice that the ladder rack will work with the bed cover.

Agreed, if they made that design in a stubby and sans loop, it would be perfect, IMHO.
