Default Front bumper suggestions

Hey everyone! I live in Ontario Canada and the road conditions aren't the greatest this time of year... Well recently I was run off the road by a drunk driver and I slid into a guard rail and bent the front right side of my bumper so much that come spring I won't be able to put my mud tires back on... That being said I will have to change my front bumper (which is OEM).. I am posting to see if anyone has any suggestions as to what aftermarket bumper I should replace it with... If you could post pictures with your suggestions that would be great! Below you can see my jeep without the dent in the front bumper!

Thanks!
Cheers, Dave

Lots of variables going on there that you haven't really addressed. How much are you willing to spend; how do you use your Jeep; do you have any particular design preference (stubby, full-width, etc); do you need fog lights, winch, front hitch; etc. Here's a thread that rather covers the gamut of what's been available. I bet it helps you get answers to those and similar questions, as well as some ideas ...

I really like the Rugged Ridge bumpers. They have everything...fog lights, winch mount, full width, stubby, stinger, any possible configuration you could want. You can change it up anytime.

Check out pavement ends stubby. Cheap and strong. Winch sits on top and you can reuse OEM fog lights. Roughly $$230 with winch plate

I just swapped out from a Bestop to an OR-Fab. The OR-Fab is awesome. Very strong, ties in to both the frame horns and the crash-bar/crossmember thing. They are reasonably priced, make a wide variety of styles, and have a good reputation on this forum and others. Mine is a full width with fog lights and recessed winch mount. Very pleased thus far. Need to get out wheeling again so I have a better picture.

If you have something like Craigslist in Canada, you could always find another OEM bumper on the cheap. I see take offs online here for like 50 bucks. Another 50 bucks and you can add VDP stubby end caps and it will look like mine:
