Default Bumper and roof rack suggestions!!!!

Hey everyone. I am currently looking for a front and rear bumper and a roof rack. I do not want to drill into the body of my Jeep to install the roof rack. If anyone knows of any good bumpers out there that are compatible with certain roof racks, please let me know! I was looking at the Body Armor Front high clearance bumper and the rear base bumper with their roof rack... but I want some more options! I am 16 (in 10 days). But am saving up for everything. I have about $520 right now. I have a 2011 2 door JK Wrangler Sport. I want the bumpers to be mid-width to full width. NO STUBBYS PLEASE. I also do not want to lose a lot of my lift due to the weight of the bumpers. I have a 3.5" Rough Country Series II. And lastly, I do not want a rear tire carrier. Just the bumper. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE. IT is not like I have not been looking. I have spent 3 weeks trying to find the PERFECT ones. I was thinking some of yall would have some suggestions.

One of these would be my first choice:

A close second would be :

A great roof rack would be a Gobi. Mounts to the A pillar and the frame in the back.

Thanks for the reply. I love the JcrOffroad bumpers. They look really aggressive and nice. As for the Gobi rack, I use to really like it, but the more I look at it, the less I like it. I need something with a little more depth in the basket.

I looked at the Off Camber Fabrications Front Full Width Winch Bumper for a while today and I really like that. I also like the rear Off Camber Fabrications Full Width Bumper. They also make a nice roof rack that I really like but it is not compatible with the 2011 models.

But I am seriously looking into the bumpers.

3 choices so far: Rampage Products front and rear Recovery bumpers, Body Armor High Clearance front and Rear base bumper, and Off Camber Fabrications Full width winch and rear full width.

Default What bumpers to get?

Hey everyone. This is my second thread that has something to do with bumpers.. but anyways.. I have saved up about 2,500 dollars and am looking for some nice bumpers.. I do not need a rear tire carrier and I want the front one to be a winch bumper, and also, I am looking for something mid-width to full width.. I do not like stubbys. I have looked and looked and I am really liking the Off Camber Fabrication Front Full Width bumper with winch mount and their rear full width. But I am open to suggestions and would LOVE to see the bumpers y'all have and maybe some ones that y'all would recommend. Thanks everyone.
