Default Which Bumper

I am trying to make an informed decision on which off Road Bumper to get. I would like to to accept the factory fog lamps, also would like to be able to mount and winch in the future , also would like a good skid plate for up front and wouldn;t mind it to give some protection in front of the tires for a front corner impact if needed. Any help would be great. Need some experienced answers.

I went with the shrockworks mid-width. It accepts the stock fog lights, winch, and comes with a good skid plate. It just does not extend out in front of the tires but that was not one of my concerns.

Rugged Ridge XHD Modular with end caps accepts factory fogs, can mount a winch and will cover the tires.

X2. Worth noting is, while expensive, the Shrockworks comes with the winch mounting plate and the
skid plate in that price. The down side is the wait (as much as 3-4 months) and having to pay in
advance. Some have gotten around that by buying through a Texas reseller--search JK-Forum for the
name if interested. Here's mine, BTW:

X3 on the Shrockworks. I've looked at most of the bumpers out there, that one is my fave for sure.

X2 on rugged ridge. not sure on the skid plate, but it meets your other needs. bumper quickly goes from full to stubby with end cap removal for different looks/needs.

You don't always have to wait for the shrockworks. I ordered mine on a wednesday and received on 2 days later on Friday from one of our sponsors. They posted a thread on here saying they had them in stock

There should be a pretty good selection to look over on all the Jeeps coming up to the JK Fest this weekend. Personally I love my LoD mid-width.
