So I ask what bumpers did you go with lol. I'm not to picky on weight, but lighter is better as long as there tough.

I'm actually leaning towards JCR & PSC now lol. So does anyone have the JCR bumpers, and would you mind telling me any pros or cons. Thanks for the input from everyone, this kinda hard choice for me.

If you pick Jcr does that mean I win? Maybe I'll get a special deal for advertising them if I can ever afford a bumper.

I recently went through the same thing. I went with LOD. JCR and PSC were the contenders. It came down to looks with the front bumper and features with the rear. I like having the lights, a lower hoop and the winch tucked in and nearly out of sight. I ordered the rear with carrier the connects to the tailgate, making it easier to use the back of the Jeep.

All three brands are made in the USA and are no doubt a better choice than the other brands' chinese stuff.

I have a LoD full width front bumper and it has been holding quite well, even though I do not do rocks. Mostly roads and one trail here and there.

Nonetheless, I would recommend it. Very easy to install (did it myself) and looks great. Also fit the winch perfectly. No need for drillings or adjusting.

I am planning a rear bumper and most likely will go with a LoD also.

Cannot comment on the others since I do not have them.

I'm also in need of a set.. been going back and forth as well, and the bumpers posted are definitely on my list with a few more to add but they are so GD expensive.

That's a nice looking bumper, I do like. I'll think about it and the weight is nice, nearly half the weight. Have you every worried about it bending or anything getting pulled or pulling someone.

That JRC is sexyness, I just need to get my wife liking the stinger look... She isn't into it, but I luv it. I dunno I'm really thinking this is the brand I'm going to go with.
