Looking for a bumper......any suggestion?
Want to replace my stock bumper for something a little more.......uhhh...rugged. Never been off roading, yet.....but I want something that will look nice, and put up with any abuse it happens to endure. I don't want a winch, so a winch plate is not necessary..
The following are a few I'm thinking.....feel free to defend your brand or give me your two cents!
1. Smittybilt MOD front bumper with bull bar
2. ORFAB front stubby with hoop
3. Poison Spyder with Brawler Bar
4. PureJeep Stubby
5. SmittyBilt XRC
Anyone have their opinion?
Ps, pictures are in order

Alright, 2 for Poison Spyder! I've heard good things about it......but the price point is key. From what I understand, the PS is the most expensive......someone correct me if I'm wrong.....but the 400$ price tag of the smittybilts are pretty tempting.

Make it 3 for poison. Can't speak for any of the other ones but the first smittybilt I had, one of the bolts broke. Second one (warranty replacement) had a hole not centered with the nut that they weld on.. I tried everything but never could figure out what to do. I ran 7 bolts in that until I sold it. I have the poison spyder brawler lite with trail stinger and couldn't be happier.. the only good thing I have to say about smittybilt is they have a decent warranty but products are very cheap quality.
