I have had a look around and seems most people here run the same brand of front and rear bumper. Anyone have an opinion or has a different make and model installed in front/rear of their JK?

I was looking to get a rear bumper with tire carrier, I am happy with the Highrock stubby I have installed in the front, but the $750 price tag on the rear one is steering me towards another brand.

 

It's all personal preference. I run a stock rear bumper and an AEV Premium Front Bumper. I'll eventually purchase an AEV rear only bc I love the looks and function of it, but if something comes out in the future that I like more, I'll buy that instead (as long as its made in the USA).

 

I'm running rock hard front and rear bumpers. Great quality and looks!

 

I think most jeeps are mutts. I have a ARB front bumper, Body armor side steps, orfab rear bumper and a Teraflex tire carrier. As long as the colors and textures look close and match it looks fine.

 

I agree that most jeeps are mutts. I have products from a bunch of vendors installed - Lod, Poison Spyder, River Raider, Rugged Ridge, Rock Krawler, JKS, Teraflex etc. I wouldn't worry about having matching bumpers.

 

No brand loyalty here at all, PSC front and EVO rear. It's your Jeep build it however you like. If PSC made a rear bumper/carrier that I actually liked I probably would've gotten it but they don't so...

 

I run Hanson front and rear bumpers. They make really nice products. I like the fact that the 2" receiver on the rear bumper is frenched into the bumper so it doesn't hang down like on a lot of other bumpers. I also like the fact that both bumpers have a 'smooth' powder coat finish. Too many bumpers only come 'texture' powder coated and i don't like that look or how well it holds up.

 

The only brand loyalty I try to have is products fabed here in the U.S. I look at it this way. A Wrangler is an American Icon assembled in Toledo, Ohio. I don't want a bunch of China steel on my rig. I did buy a winch that came off the slow boatbut my wallet wasen't deep enough for the Warn I wanted. It's hard to avoid some over sea's products, but there are many great fab shops for bumper's and armour here in the U.S.

 

Love the Smittybilt XRC.. Got the front and getting the rear with tire carrier sometime soon! Plus it's US made.

 

Sorry but pretty sure made in China.
