Default Grill / bumper options?

Hey guys, Super new here....I've got an '11 Jeep Wrangler. Total base model

Hopefully I'm gonna get some money for my birthday and I want to start off modding my jeep by getting a grill and metal front / rear bumper.
I've seen a slew of different types and styles of bumpers and grills and I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out which one(s) are best, particularly for the money....

Please share with me your wisdom!!

Welcome from down in the Springs

I love my Rugged Ridge XHD stubby bumper since its modular (customizable). If I get tired of the stinger portion I can remove it and just have the shorty bumper. Once I miss the stinger then pop on some bolts and its back. So many choices for bumpers its unreal honestly.

For the grille, I just bedlined it and put in some gutter guard (DIY writeup on here) for added protection. Painted the gutter guard orange to match the Jeep cause I got that swagger

Thanks I'll keep that in mind!...Say, do you know of any trails that are good to hit up near here?
The closest one I could find was moody hill, which I plan to hit up this weekend....

I know of Green Ridge (more muddy than rock crawling), Bald Mountain (more rocks than Green Ridge but still muddy), Kelly Flats (ROCK CRAWLING) and Sevenmile Creek (water crossings and mud with some rocks). Dont head up that way much but im sure theres more that I cant think of.

Thank you so much! Greenridge definitely sounds like a better option. Might even try to do the whole mudloop

cheers!
