I almost died asking my 5 year old about which bumper to get. Can't blame him, I can't decide either, that's why i'm asking him.
Talking about the hoops/stingers he goes, "well daddy I like all of them, big ones, small ones, ones in-between, even humongous ones"
Like father like son......
So here's my dilemma. I think I like the aggressive look of the stubby bumpers the most, but that wide SRC by smittybilt definately has an overlanding/safari kinda look to it that's cool.
My truck for the next 3 years will not climb rocks (i know i'm a poser with these bumpers). I may get into that after i get my Gator one in 2-3 years.
I'll have just a sport S so the bumper would have to get replaced if i went with a Rubicon/Maximus setup. I know the addictive desert design ones are like twice the cost of the smittybilt, but they still look badass.
I think some of the bigger hoops will block the off-road front cam on a Rubicon, but i won't have that for 2-3 years anyways, so that shouldn't be of concern.
Is it illegal to drive on road without bumper covering the wheels?
Thoughts fellas?
Ugh, help me decide.
