I planned on keeping it kind of stock besides the 33in A/Ts. But the stock bumpers were starting to look horrible. I have always been a fan of the tubular bumpers because they have that simple old school look to me.
I have the Rugged Ridge front tube bumper and the Rampage rear bumper. Why two different brands?
I originally ordered the Rampage front as well along with the Rampage rear. The rear arrived first because the front was on back order. While I was waiting I researched and online and saw photos of other jeeps with the Rampage front bumper. I noticed that it sat out sort of awkward. It also doesn't come with a cover for between the front of the jeep and bumper leaving the frame and headlight wires exposed. So I found the Rugged Ridge front which fits better and it came included with a cover to hide the unsightly area between the frame and bumper. The only issue I have with it is that the cover is a cheap flimsy plastic that is sorta warped when your tighten it in. However, the paint color and texture is a perfect match between the two brands. All and all I'm happy with it...... Next I am ordering some quadratic LED head and fog lights to finalize this face lift.... for now.
Also notice the Rugged Ridge stubby antenna!
