Default Messed up bumper!!!

Im at work and get a call to come outside cause a 18 wheeler hit my jeep!!! So thinking the worst i go outside to see my bumber bent and all scratched. Now im pissed , but coming from a 18 wheeler it could of been alot worse. So now i finally can get a new aftermarket bumper and not have to pay for it! Any suggestions? (Front bumper)

well first this should probably go in the modified section but in order to do a recommendation you need to have a price range.

Default warn

I'm running a warn. It looks good to me and has the holes already cut out for the stock fog lights. Warn winch plate not included. If the 18 wheeler is paying for it get the winch mounting plate as well.

I like the looks of the Shrockworks stubby with skid plate.

PureJeep Stubby Winch. I like the Shrockworks one too, but after having mine on order for 3 months and calling to find out it wasn't even cutout yet I got the PJ on order from Northridge. It can take some good dings; dragged mine up a few rocks.

Keep in mind the stock bumper isnt worth the cost of most aftermarket. The body man tried to squeeze out cost for paint, but the insur comp knew the bumpers aren't painted. Think I only got on the low end of $300 for mine. I ended up with a or-fab stubby for $320. I didnt have the cash to shell out any more. Besides I like Or-fabs stuff.
