Front bumper options - pretty specific

[drdfblackm]

Join me if you will in going down this rabbit hole.

I owned a JK in the past....and I purchased a "winch tray" for it. I will post photos of it. I loved it....it was minimal, highly useful and built well. I am not looking to buy $1500-2500 front bumpers....I get it....you get what you pay for. Well I'm also not going to pay for Chinese crap. I am looking for that happy medium. I really like the looks of this bumper....but it is 100% Chinese trash: the Hooke Road Tubular front bumper w/ winch plate (Google it to see an image)

.

So...anyone have any recommendations?

I didn’t watch the video, that is one ugly bumper you got there. I put the aluminum MP Concepts front bumper on mine, for a winch bumper. Got rid of the factory plastic one.

If you're finding an American made winch bumper under $1500 I'd be surprised. I'm a fan of my redrock 4x4 stubby winch bumper. Been hit a few times in the rocks, plenty of hard winch pulls, and not the slightest bending or tweaking of any kind. Great buy for the price. https://www.extremeterrain.com/redr...bumper-led-fog-lights-winch-mount-jg1317.html

@Adventure Lab (Team) makes a modular front bumper/winch tray. Its American made and priced well. I have zero experience with this bumper. https://americanadventurelab.com/product/jeep-wrangler-jl-jt-modular-front-bumper-combo/

Dammit, why'd I click the link. Now I have to talk myself out of it.

As I think about it....theirs is cheaper than the one made by Warn....I mean might be the same once you have it professionally painted or powder coated.....but I'm going to do that myself.

Their textured black options are pretty reasonable TBH, a litle over $100 difference for everything minus the fairlead light bracket. I say the little extra cost is worth saving my time having to do it myself, plus I'd have half the price difference just in materials (cleaners, sand paper, primer, paint, clear).

You're not wrong!
