New bumper
I've attached a pic of the bumper that I want to get for my JKU. It's the smittybilt xrc modular with q9000 winch. Thoughts? Is it a good bumper? Will the winch be enough to pull my JKU out of the mud? Keep in mind I'm on a budget.

You're going to get a lot of responses about Smittybilt. Folks hate them. I had their bumpers on my last Jeep. The only issue I had with them was rust.
Side note, check out e-auto grills (or something like that) on Ebay. Basically the same bumpers, but for less.

I was looking at a rugged ridge bumper but it was more expensive than the smittybilt and it didn't come with a winch, and the winch is a bit of a preference because I do mostly mudding and sand riding. However, I really like your bumper. Also, I saw your jeep in another thread and you mentioned that you were getting some toyo open country's. Those will look great on your blacked out jeep! PM after you've used them for a few weeks and let me know how you like them!
Just sayin...
