Default Best aftermarket bumper
Hey guys, so I had to fortune to get my front bumper messed up in a parking mishap and the guy decided to settle in cash. I originally got an estimate for a smittybilt xrc m.o.d. Front bumper with full width end caps (let's me keep the fog lights) and bull bar. I'm second guessing that and wanted some input. My jeep is a 2013 jku Sahara and it is my daily driver (20k a year approx). I want functionality without losing a clean look. Hit me with what ya got

This is like asking what's the best lift or what's the best beer. Look through the bumper show off thread in the show and tell section or Quadratec, Northridge, etc and find one that suits your budget and needs. Every bumper has been reviewed on here so narrow your choices to a few.

Please do not get a Smittybilt I cannot stand seeing their products. They look good, but for function are useless. Its your front bumper so get something beefy and that can take a hit. Check out Poison Spyder, EVO, there are others I am just having trouble recalling.

Full Metal Fabrications new bumper is sick.

Disclaimer. I don't own it, I have a JCR Dagger, which I like, but I would of gone with the FMF bumper if I had seen it first.
