So I'm really having some trouble deciding what fab fours to put on the front of my 2012 jkur..there are some pros and cons I see to each. Your opinions/experiences would be appriciated. My jk has bushwhacker pocket flares (wide) so trying to keep that in mind. Want function and best look.
Stubby w/ grill guard-pros are cost, weight (80 lbs) Cons are coverage against impact (keeping in mind there are plenty of deer here in VA), winch mounts on top of bumper
Lifestyle w/ grill guard- pros are better coverage, cleaner look, winch mounts inside bumper Cons are cost (double the stubby) weight (140 lbs)

Not sure which one will look better with my fender flares either
Thanks for your input and/or pics

 

Oh Im also running fab fours side guards and rear bumper w/ tire carrier, just an fyi

 

I don't have a fab fours but one really big up that I see on their bumpers is the hi lift jack lifting point. That's gotta come in handy...

 

Both of the bumpers are equipped with those jack points

 

Well in that case.. go with the stubbiest. Saves a little weight and the approach angles are a lot better on the trail

 

Another pro for the stubby, thanks

 

If anyone is running a stubby front with wide flares can you post some pics?

 

any more input on my dilema?

 

This is what mine looked like with stock fenders. I will say I loved this bumper. This Jeep is gone, just didn't work with a family of 4 and al of our gear.

 

Looks good, thanks
