New to the forum. Trying to decide on what front bumper to buy under $600. Would love some suggestions. I am leaning toward mid or stubby with winch mount. Mostly play in the mud and trails. Not serious rock crawling. The biggest problem I have run into is having to mount a front license plate. Any suggestions or even better some pics of the bumpers you have would be great. Thanks Paul

Fab Fours Stubby! You can find them online all day long for $399. Over the years, they are one of the strongest and most precisely-built brands of bumpers I've used...Which is why I put one on my JTR, as well. Their customer service is also excellent. :like:

I bought the Ace stubby. It retails for $595, but I either found a discount or got free shipping. Can’t recall which. It was on back order and took a month to get here, but they were clear about they from the beginning due to COVID-19, and they communicated frequently about progress toward filling the order. It arrived when they said it would (last week), and I’ll post some pictures once it’s installed.

There are some on ebay for $435 that look like the factory ones but are not. Lots of chatter on the JL forum about them but everyone seems happy with them. For that price they come with the hoop and winch plate. Just go to ebay and search for "2018-20 Jeep Wrangler JL 3-Piece Steel Rubicon Front Bumper w/LED Fog Lights". It's not what I wanted, but I have seen a lot of people that purchased them and like them.

Are you required to have a front license plate like in texas. If you have you had any issues with it being that low

Yes were required Here in Idaho. The rule here says it’s got to be over 12” from the ground. Honestly from the front it’s not super easily visible. But I’ve had no issues. Nothing at all has been said by anyone.

Funny you should reply, that is the bumper I am looking at if I can't find a stubby I like. Love how it blends in with the fenders. My wife really likes that one. How bad is it to clean the mud out of the back of it? Is there enough room for a license plate between the fog lights? Thanks
