Hey hkscivic,

Have you considered the Rugged Ridge Bumper? It is textured black and is modular so you can add the hoop overrider and stubby ends to make it a mid-width like I believe you're looking for. Here's a link to the bumper!

Here is the Hoop Overrider.

Here is the set of Stubby Ends.

This all comes in under $600 with our free shipping, and you can PM me for a discount code for another 6% off of the order. Hopefully this helps you out!

I am looking for at the rugged ridge with the winch, bull hoop, and stubby end caps. What's the going rate for something like this?

Phill,

Those parts would run you $522.89 shipped. You can use the same links above for the ends and overrider, and here is the link to the winch mount bumper!

I would definitely recommend the Smittybilt XRC. You may have already looked at it, but here to tell you it's awesome! I love the look and texture of mine! You won't be disappointed!

From past experience and multiple testimonies from friends who either had a Rugged Ridge or Smittybilt, their coatings SUCK. Without a doubt it will rust fast on you. Again, just my opinion.....sure a bunch of people are gonna chime in who have one. If you're gonna go that route, get a cheap ass bare steel bumper and spend the extra on a good powder coat or flat black.

Check out JCR Off-Road Bumpers. Made in the USA, quality bumpers. I love mine, they come bare steel. Have them powder coated.

The bumper looks great! So if you wanted to add a winch to that would you just drill some holes into the 1/4 in steel and throw it on top of it? I went with the LOD Signature Mid with front winch bumper. Drove around for a month without the Winch until I got the funds to buy a winch. Yours looks good jeepers love to mod let us know what your next project is
