Rugged Ridge all the way. Quality, heavy duty material. Customizable and not to mention heavy duty coating in and out. People got to realize this isn't 70/80's Chinese products. Look around and all you buy everyday is from over seas. This product could be made in fkn Indonesia, I'd still buy it!

you will probably enjoy either, but from experience on the boards, people have fewer issues with OR-Fab and better Custer Service experiences. In the end it depends on which you like more, you will be happy in the end either way.

Do you have factory fog lights and want a winch eventually? If so, I'm not sure I saw an OR-Fab stubby winch bumper that has a place for the factory fogs. I personally went with the RR (price and flexibility were key for me), loved the product, and have had outstanding customer service. FYI, I also added a OR-Fab electronic sway bar skid, which is a fantastic product as well.

The problem I've always had with the RR stems from the modular nature that makes it so popular; I live in Wisconsin, and all those little cracks and crevices where parts bolt together are sand, salt, snow magnets. Since you live in Tampa, Jeep_420, you don't have as much of a concern...probably comes down to which one you like better.

For the $$$ the RR is a great bumper and you can mod it however you want! I have the RR XHD Stubby with a stinger and winch, factory fogs fit perfect and I haven't had any problems with mine.

If you want a quality bumper that is built and tested in the good old US OF A. Go with ORE-FAB. I don't believe that you will have a problem with it and if you do they will take care you in a heart beat. I have their sliders, skins also their 4.5" TRAIL MASTER SUSPENSION and there was no problem installing or the quality of the items.,
