Bumper Recommendations
I've finally gotten the approval to push ahead with bumpers for the Jeep (2010 Unlimited) so I'm trying to track down something that meets what I want to put on it, and get some feedback from those that have run them. (translation: just bought the wife jewelry, now I can get bumpers) I really like the looks and function of the Aberle bumpers, but wonder if they're even an option any more... So pending that, I'd like to get an idea of where else to look.
For the front I would like:
For the rear bumper/tire carrier:
Pictures installed are always a plus. Price-wise I'm moderately flexible, not looking to break the bank, but cheapest is not always the best route with things like this.

For the front I would like:
- Stubby or Mid-width
- Inset winch mount (or at least partially, to not totally obscure the grille)
- Factory fog mounts
- Recovery points (shackle tabs, mounted D-rings, whatever.) frame attached, at least 2
- Winch hoop or similar (this is possibly optional)
For the rear bumper/tire carrier:
- Integrated tire carrier, capable of 37" spare
- Recovery points (shackle tabs, mounted D-rings, whatever.) frame attached, at least 2
- Ability to use factory tow hitch (I know a lot of bumpers have integrated hitches, but I have doubts as to their tow capabilities)
- Would prefer a tire carrier that operates with the tailgate
- Mount area for reverse lights (optional)
- Mounting points for Hi-Lift/Shovel/etc (optional, but nice to have)
Pictures installed are always a plus. Price-wise I'm moderately flexible, not looking to break the bank, but cheapest is not always the best route with things like this.

This is the rear bumper I plan on getting. You might like it.

Ryan, appreciate the heads up on the Expedition One Core Series. It's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. If only they'd release the gen iii rear with carrier...
