I can't pick a bumper !! (No winch)
OK
I am not getting a winch, I just have no need for it.
I was looking at the Powerplant as I thought it would be a cool toy
to air stuff up around the house and for when you get screwed with
a leaky tire and just wanna run to get it plugged BUT I will not wheel
anywhere Id need to air down nor will I wheel enough or hardcore enough
ever to need a winch.
I can't decide on a bumper???
I want it to have fogs in it AND where I can mount another set on top.
I LOVE the AEV Bumper (sure as heck dont like the price)
BUT
I really think I am going to get the Shrockworks
Rock Rails in Anthracite as well as their rear bumper
with the built in back up lights in Anthracite as I think
it will look GREAT on my Steel Blue Rubicon Unlimited
with the Argent AEV wheels sitting in my garage...
So what do I do??? The Shrockworks mid is nice
and what I was gonna run but I just dont think it will
look great without a winch.
I don't know how the AEV would look with the Anthracite
rear Shrockworks bumper and rails

I ended up with the Rock Hard front stubby with fogs. They give you the winch mounting plate with it. You then have the option to put one on if you feel like it.
I will let you know how it goes once they arrive.

Well I just sent an Email to Shrockworks seeing
if they could do the rear bumper in the Anthracite,
angle the rails down a bit more so they serve as a bit of
a step (yes I know that would be stupid for sliding etc)
but I do not plan on doing that and I wont have to listen
to my GF bitch so much about height when I put on my
new tires and 2 in OME lift.
I also asked if they have some type of cover plate which would
allow me to put another set of fogs on top like the AEV and ARB
If they can help me with those I will be going that route for sure.
I like the AEV and ARB a LOT but they cost quite a bit and I just
think it would look better if the rails and the front and rear bumper
were all made by they same company (same colors, same lines etc)
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Oh yeah... I also must admit I like the Rugged Ridge, they really did a nice
job, I had my doubts before but the Shrockworks would just suit my
dream JK better...

SHROCKWORKS!!!
Mine is the stubby, so no factory fogs, but man this thing is impressive. I installed it myself (and I'm pretty much useless!) and this beast exceeded my expectations BIG TIME!
If the mid-width (with Factory fog cut-outs) is anywhere near as good as the stubby then go for it! BTW mine is anthracite and looks amazing...did I mention SHROCKWORKS?

OK
So they won't have a winch cover plate out for a few mths, that sucks but I understand and can wait....
So, next ?....
Can you mount another set of Fogs on top of the Bumper in addition to the ones in the bumper? I swear I have seen pics of this bumper with the Powerplant in it and fogs up top as well?
