Want everyones opinion...Stubby or Full Length Bumpers

[cb4017]

I have never cared for the look of stubby bumpers. To me they look unfinished and like something is missing. To each his own of course.

Stubby for me. That’s what makes the jeep unique. How many other cars can you cut the ends of the bumpers off and it looks better. LOL

It looks pretty good. It seems that there are mods required to fit the Mojave lower skid. And if I order one I'll take it completely apart and repaint the steel parts because many reviews mention paint scratch or fade issues.

As far as stubby or mid and full length it truly is a personal opinion and need issue. I personally like full width because of the looks and my proximity to deer and elk country. If I were building a crawler, which I'm not, stubby is the recommendation.

Agreed, I plan on painting it Sting Gray to match the jeep.

I went full length. I mounted a driving light on the each side just in front of the inner edge of the tire

My choice would be the LOD. Destroyer
Makes it look complete IMO.

Yup. LOD all the way.
These bumpers are nice, made in the USA.
I really like the looks of them

Full width.

Are these the Rubicon or Sport fenders? I like the classic look better, but was worried there would be a big gap between the bumper and Rubicon fenders that I've got!

Love my full width and it's got plenty of clearance
If this is hideous you can leave your man card on the table on the way out!

To each his own, but i like the full width as well and i have the same bumper as jeeperjamie, thanks for the inputs on the fog lights too by the way jamie

I went full width ARB because I make a lot of early morning trips during hunting season. Stubbies are cool if you don’t need aero or animal protection.

Newbie question here. Are there any implications to how the airbags function when swapping out the plastic bumper?

 

[Captn_Obvious]

Just want to hear everyone's opinions. I usually prefer shorty's but im kinda liking the lod signature series full length for the Gladiator

Soon to be installing the ARB stubby bumper, and a warn winch - I tried not to want it, tried to stop staring at it.. but the BEEFY bull bar, jack mounts right there.. additional approach angle. It WILL be happening, my shop is just waiting on it to come in.

I'm looking at stubby for the Front and Full Sized for the Rear. First of all I really like the Tough look of the stubby front and secondly the full sized rear gives you places to step when getting into the back of a lifted jeep. The setup I like has the cut outs for the rear sensors as well.
