Stock Skid Pad with EAG Bumper??

[maxpower220]

I have a Rubicon with plastic bumper. Looking at an EAG Bumper. I contacted them and they said I had to run their front skid plate. I used search and can't find specifics, but I thought many were able to run stock skid pad with EAG type bumpers.

Thanks for any experience with this.

My bumper is EAG and the stock skid plate fit without a problem. I took it off during the install because I thought it wouldn't fit ,but I was able to bolt it right back on. Of course not all bumpers are the same. Which one you going with?

Looking at this one. Like yours, only with the winch recessed.

I like that one and the price is good too. If I would have seen that one when I bought mine I probably would have gone with it.

As far as weather or not the skid plate will work, who knows. Are you handy enough to do some cutting if need be?

I don't have welding equipment, but I have a lot of cutting equipment. I just don't want it to look bad. I can always buy theirs (@ $60).

If you decide to go for it please post an update.

I did the "Make an Offer" on ebay. I will probably be getting it either way.

I was at my sister in laws for the 4th of july and noticed that her son has that bumper on his JK. not a rubicon and no skid plate . His jeep only sees the beach.

Well, I did several "Make Offer" bids on ebay. They were all rejected as "being too low", the last one was $4 less than "Buy It Now". So, I did the buy it now. Be here next week. I'll then see about the skid plate.

I can confirm that the stock rubicon skid pad does work with the eag bumper.YMMV.
