Default JCR Offroad Dagger Mid vs Poison Spyder Brawler mid

I need some help. JCR Dagger Mid with skid about $700 to my door vs PSC Brawler Mid (without skid, but winch fairlead mount) about $750 to my door. I will be buying the rear to match, so that should be in the equation as well. Rear Brawler uses 2" round lights, JCR Crusader uses 4" round lights. other than that they are basically the same $$. PSC may be $25 cheaper. Please help a brotha out.

I have the jcr dagger stubby and love it. I would vote for the skid over the fairlead mount for 50$ less. Don't those come cheaper, or with a winch...

One thing to consider with the jcr rear is you have to cut the frame, not sure about the poison spyder

You have to buy a plate that attaches to the ps bumper. That plate is what the hawse attaches to. It is built into the jcr.

I'm in the same predicament as you, both bumpers are awesome and both are made in the USA. Maybe this thread can help us both out.

The crusader rear only reqires one drilled hole, no cutting. Thats the one i was looking at.

Brawler lite all the way. I had this same debate with myself 3 months ago, went with the Brawler and I couldn't be happier. Top quality and looks awesome.

This is the way i expected this to go. Psc has the name. Somebody pick the jcr apart. Why is the psc better?

The JCR doesn't have the option of finishing and comes bare steel. Not a deal breaker but potentially more costs??
*edit* Oh I just noticed neither come finished?

The powder coat from psc is reasonable but it jacks the shipping way up to protect it. Crate, materials etc.
