I searched and searched and initially wanted the AEV front bumper but thought it very expensive by the time you bought the skid plate and winch mount too. I went with the Rock Hard aluminum bumper since it was less expensive and much lighter at only 37lbs. I added the Zeon 8S and am still less weight combined than most steel bumpers alone. These bumpers are very stout being made from 1/4" material. The welds are ok but definitely have a mass production look to them. I had to use both spacers behind the bumper to keep winch from rubbing the grill. Had to cut corner off of frame horn as well. The stock fog light wiring was just barely long enough to reach the new location. All in all I'm really pleased other than the fairlead cutout is universal to accommodate different winch spool orientation so my Zeon is not lined up exactly with the fairlead. Don't forget to order the vacuum pump bracket if you buy the recessed winch bumper.
