2022 Gladiator Rubicon
Hello all, first real post here. Have had multiple TJs and YJs in a previous life but after a 12 year hiatus now have a Gladiator Rubicon. Loving it so far and miss having a winch like I did before. Did not get one with the steel bumper (would of been nice) so looking for an aftermarket option. Would like to stay under $600 for one with an integrated winch mount that will also take the factory LED fogs. Any suggestions? Most of the ones I find say they dont work with the factory LED fogs which I want to keep. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, the @Quadratec QRC bumper checks both of those boxes...

Rugged Ridge Arcus, if you don't mind a stubby. Looks like something close to stock with a lil more, if you know what I mean. You can use any factory fog light in it.

If you like the stock Rubicon steel bumper look, I just installed this one... MP Concept forge aluminum bumper. It looks like the factory Rubicon steel bumper but it is made out of aluminum (very light). Comes with a steel winch mounting plate and brackets.

I swapped the tow hooks (wanted to keep the orange hooks) and installed the wiring and LED fog lights from my stock bumper.
