I am hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction of what I should do. I feel like a made a mistake not ordering the steel bumper from the factory.
Long story short I ordered the jeep primarily for the fact because it was a convertible truck, with offloading being a nice "bonus feature" Still got the rubicon because of the feature set though compared to the sport. Overland was out due to towing capacity.
Fast forward 9 days after getting the truck and me and the kids are having a blast driving it around my yard and really want to go offroading. I have also been using the tow hooks to take down dead trees, a winch would work way better here. Also do not feel comfortable going offroading without being prepared (eagle scout, lol)
After looking at options I am kind of in a bind. Was going to go with a front hitch mount, but can't due to the Rubicon steel plate up front I would rather keep in place.
Thought about getting a new bumper, but cost and the crazy number of options out there is overwhelming (379-2k+). Also don't want to effect my payload on my jeep by putting something too heavy up there. Strangely enough I also like the look of the stock bumper.
Any ideas or recommendations?
