Winched against a tree and locked all 4 tires on pavement with 3 people in the Jeep to see it work a lil bit. ZERO deflection or movement. I like the styling and oddly it does not weigh a ton!?? The finish after 3 years of new england salt happy winters has not one issue. The spot i would expect would is where I bashed it when slipping off a rock. I simply went over it with some rustoleum bedliner (Perfect match BTW) and even that is good. The lower "skid" if you will gives a decent bit of protection too.

I decided to go with the lifestyle and grill guard bumper from fab fours. Waitin on it to ship with the rear bumper now. Thanks guys for the input, think this one will be the best for me. Ill try and post pics once I have front, side, and rear fab fours armor. Can't wait

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
