Discontinued....no longer making the LoD JK winch mid-width front bumper. going through a redesign. Only a few, if that, left out there.

You are correct on that. I ordered one of the last 5 remaining and it will be shipped in a week. The Signature series is doing very well for them also.
It is priced at $499 plus shipping.
Chris at Lod says the mid-width redesign should be released in 3 weeks.

I just ordered the TREKs JK front winch bumper. It has everything I'm looking for, recessed winch mount, incorporates factory fogs, mid/stubby width, swaybar disconnect motor skid, an affordable price $495, and delivery time of only 2-3 weeks. Got sick and tired waiting for the Rugged Ridge bumper. Here's some pics of the TREKs bumper:

Default I have the ARB's

Not much luck posting these pictures directly, but here is a link to them:



I like the factory fog lamp holes, jack slots, ties in real well with the Jeep (looks better than stock), works with the Warn Powerplant. Wish they had tow hooks on the back bumper and a skid plate for the front bumper.

Does the redesign incorporate a hoop? If so this will most likely be my bumper.

I think it'll resemble the new signature stubby, only be longer measurement in width. I assume it would have the same options as stubby.

The Expedition One DX Basic is a very light weight, tough, inexpensive winch bumper that now comes with add-on parts like winglets which can be removed for rock crawling.
