FWIW I pulled the trigger on this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BP37G7Z/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=AD8AENOLLD9D9&psc=1
209 bucks. Money is tight right now so I took a gamble on it. It is winch ready and gets very good review.

I also went with a winch to go on it.

I picked up a JK 10th anniversary bumper from eBay, which is almost identical to the JL and JT version. The wife took offense to it because it says 'Rubicon' when hers is a Sahara. So I've put it up for sale on Craigslist in Phoenix:

And here's the skidplate which is the actual JL and JT version:

So you bought a 10th Anniversary bumper which was only available on the 10th Anniversary Rubicon which is why it shows 'RUBICON' on the front. There wasn't a 10th Anniversary Sahara. Why did you buy it in the first place? https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a...iversary-edition-debuts-at-la-auto-show-news/

Because I didn't think it would be a big deal, but when the wife saw it she didn't like it. It's her Jeep.

I got ya. I was married before. Husband: 'Look honey, I got you this sweet bumper!' Wife: 'It says 'RUBICON', I have a Sahara. I DON'T WANT IT!!'

Just curious. Where it says rubicon. Is that a removable plate for the winch line? Does that bumper work with a winch?

Also, wish you were closer. I like the skid plate.

Yes and Yes. That piece gets replaced if you put the winch guide there.

Has anyone bought one of these? I like the look of the Rubicon three peice steel bumper for my sport s, but $1000 is steep and I think I'd also need to convert my headlights to led

or 341 for a front and back???

If you like your bumper I also found this interesting thread on the JL Forum. Check out what he does with the stock plastic bumper

It looks like the rear is for the JL though. If it would even fit, doubtful with the truck bed on the back, I'm not sure how it would look with the cut out for the rear tire.
