I have a delima after I get my superchip bumpers will be the next thing on my list. I have narrowed it down to rugged ridge and smitybilt (because of price and style). The problem is I definatly like the xrc rear bumper better but like the rugged ridge front better. I have not seem either bumper in person so is the finish the same. What to do? Also how would the rugged ridge rear bumper look with a body lift. Pics are great thanks

 

........none of the above babe.....Hanson stubby front and expedition 1 rear. Butt to each their own

 

I just ordered front and rear smittybilt xrc bumpers last week. Was planning on waiting awhile til I ordered them but found a deal online and got them both for 1100

 

i vote smittybilt! im looking into purchasing the SRC front and rear pretty soon. probably after the snow melts and i can work on my jeep with out freezing my ass off. if i do come into a lot of money, id go with LoD. it looks pretty clean and havnt heard one complaint yet.

 

Shoot me a pm of where you bought it.

 

PM sent. Another reason I went with Smittybilt is so that I wouldnt have to wait several months before I got them. I placed my order last weekend and the estimated shipping dates are 12/12 for the front and 1/1 for the rear.

 

Do you have factory fogs? I don't think either of these has the ability to mount them. I went with a Rock Hard stubby and have been very pleased. I ordered on Monday, received on Friday and installed it on Saturday.

 

I put the Rugged Ridge XHD on the rear because of the price, the cut out for the factory receiver hitch and that it wraps under the fenders. When I go to larger tires I'll add the spare tire carrier. I spent a little more on the ARB Deluxe Bull Bar for the front because of the fog light mounts and the way it integrates into the front fenders. I installed both with hand tools and had a minimum of problems.
