I have the stubby without the foglight holes. I like it but it was a pain to mount. It needed a little persuasion to fit. Depending on the winch being mounted you may or may not need the bracket for the vacuum pump if you have a 12 or newer and the winch can't be mounted after the bumper is on.

Don't buy a Rough Country BUMPER. it will make your jeep ride like crap. Just a joke.
Just thought is use the opportunity to add my totally unfounded opinion about Rough Country like 99% of the other members on this forum.

I have it on the front of my JK. I love it. The finish is a little thin so you will want to shoot it with some spray paint before installation. I have had some tough pulls on mine with the winch and the hooks and no problems. Install was a breeze.

I have been running it on mine for a long while now and I love it, no winch yet, I re-used the factory tow hooks and it was pretty easy to install by myself even, an impact wrench is your friend getting the old one off! Cheers!

AWSOME !! Thanks for input guys .. I picked this up on Craigslist still in the box sealed for 160 !! Guy ended up trading his jeep before he got to put it on .. He also threw in the relocation bracket .. I ordered the d-ring mounts and can't wait to mount it all .. I'm gonna be winch less for a wile cause I really wasn't expecting to get a new bumper yet .. Just couldn't pass that up
