BUMPERS!

[Ted Striker]

How is it holding up?

It's OK. Not great, but OK. When this picture was taken, I had not installed the winch yet. When I went to install the winch, I found out quickly that JK bumpers are not as universal to JL/JT as people/manufacturers believe. Because of the slant to the JL/JT front grille, there is less space in front for the winch. Therefore, I had to drill new holes into the winch plate to get the winch moved forward in order for it to fit. And it barely fits. Also, the finish seems to flake off fairly easy with small rock chips. If I had to do it over again, I would buy a bumper specifically made for the JL/JT.

Updated my RR Arcus taking a page from @TallGuy and swapped the tow hooks for some D Ring mounts. They are RR D Ring mounts. I like the looks but one downside is the eyehole is too close to the bumper and normal shackles won't fit. Pretty sure synthetic shackles will work just fine.

I went with this guy, still saving up for a good winch though.

Artec Nighthawk w/Stinger. This is not a lite bumper. It's made in the USA from 1/4", 3/16" and 1/8" CNC laser cut and formed steel, and has internal gussets. The winch plate is made from 1/4" thick formed steel. It takes plastic bumper factory lights or any "jk mount" lights. It's built for maximum approach angle for a bolt on bumper.
The instructions suck but it's well worth the extra effort to install.

LoD Signature Stubby, Warn Evo 12S, Rough Country 6" lights

, stock fogs from plastic JTR bumper and stock Rubicon skid plates fit without mods. I had to make a plate to mount the RC lights. They were too long to mount on the tabs on the bull bar. I like the dual light look better than a single 12" or 20" light bar. Separate winch plate also.

I like how low the winch sits. Nice looking bumper!
