Default Help me pick the perfect front bumper.

I would love some suggestions regarding a new front bumper for my '12 Sahara JKU

My requirements are pretty straight forward.

1. I would like the new bumper to include hoop/bull bar.
2. Direct fit with basic installation on a 2012.
3. Retain stock foglight capability.
4. Must come painted.
5. NOT an AEV.
6. $900 or less give or take for shipping.
7. Winch capability would be nice but is not mandatory.

Pics are welcome.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Full width bumper? mid width bumper? stubby bumper?

There's wuite a few out there. jsut depends on what width you want.

Also depends on if you want to relocate that pump or not.

Forgot to mention. Go to PSC website and look at the Brawler Lite with the Warn 9.5ti or 9.5cti winch. Looks Great.
