Hey all,

I'm getting ready to purchase a front winch mount bumper for my '12 JKUR. The two bumpers I'm considering are the Poison Spyder Brawler lite with Brawler bar or the LOD Signature Series Midwidth with winch hoop. Which one do you prefer and why??

Anyone with experience on either bumper please chime in, also if anyone has pictures of either of these on their vehicle please post up some pictures.

I'm currently leaning towards the Posion Spyder as it appears to be a bit more low profile and aggressive, it also seems to keep the winch low without sinking it into the bumper (cosmetic benefit as I'll be waiting a month or so before I get my winch.)

What I'm looking for in a bumper is mid-width (i.e not a stubby), winch hoop, good clearance, fog light housings and shackle tabs. I think either way I'm getting a great product and the prices are relatively equal.

Finally, do I need the vacuum pump relocate kit with both of these bumpers?

Thanks for the help!

You might also consider the Expedition One core series mid width. Has everything you are looking for, and is light

I was looking at the Expedition One bumpers as well and they seem pretty good. Do you know if the Warn Powerplant will fit?

Not sure why, just not a big fan of the Expedition One, although I'm sure it is a great bumper.

Keep the opinions coming please, hoping to pull the trigger soon!

Yes it will fit

PS up front and E1 in back.

Thanks for the link to that comparison thread, not sure how I missed it although I never seem to get searches to work in my favor.

The brawler lite is a great bumper!

both bumpers are sexy. I am partial to the brawler light.. I am still stuck between the gusset types. tube or plate. Once I get that figured out i will be picking it up with PS sliders. Both bumpers are of the highest quality, you cant go wrong. good luck
