Default Front Winch Bumper Poll: Rugged Ridge Vs. LOD
I'm Torn. I like LOD's look and great powder Coating, plus it has the skid.

However The Rugged Ridge w/ hoop looks a little better.

choices choices.

I didn't see a poll here but i vote Lod. I like the sunken winch look, the foglights on the wings and I ordered mine with a hoop.

You could buy the hoop from RR and put it on the LOD

The LoD is discontinued. Only a handful left, if that. Going through a redesign. They do have the stubby version available though.

The RRC in the pic is the non winch mount, there is a winch mount version that has the cut out for the winch.

I wrote back one of the sales reps at LoD with this question, and never got a response... I also asked them if they could provide a little more info on the bumper and some pics and never got back to me... out of all the manufacturers I've been emailing about parts so far LoD has had the lease interest for me anyhow in helping out their customers...

I spoke to Eddie at 4x4xplor.com and he had 1 left, that was 2 weeks ago. He told me that it was being redesigned. I wanted to buy it but he never got back to me on it and I couldn't get a hold of him. Someone in the following thread spoke to Chris at Lod and was told pretty much the same thing.
