I have a 2012 jk rubicon 3 inch mopar fox racing lift I'm running bfg km2 35s I am planning on a new front bumper and winch problem I'm having is trying to pick the best front bumper. I live in Michigan lots of salt on roads in winter don't do any rock climbing just trails and mud. Should I be concerned with weight and I would like to reuse factory fog lights , is salt going to trash new bumper , any input would be appreciated thanks.

 

Rugged Ridge re uses the factory fogs and has finish similar to Rhino lining. They are relatively inexpensive and you can add ends,hoops or whatever you want

 

I have the Shrockworks front bumper and it has held up well they make a good bumper if you don't mind the 6 months it will take to get it. I did not mind and like my bumper a lot! And I have the rear bumper and rails to!

 

Check out the Expedition One core series

 

Bad question, because your just going to get everyone telling you to get the one they got. Look around and decide witch one you think looks the best in the price range you can afford

 

I agree. I like so many different ones for different reasons. Look for the features you want, the look, then the cash outlay. I got a great factory direct deal at a show for a brand new design midwidth front bumper from Hyline and I got a better deal getting the rear with tire carrier as well. I can't wait, still about three weeks out though.

 

Thanks guys

 

x3, the previous comments are spot on... I couldn't afford one when I bought my bumper, but the Fab Fours are really nice!

 

I don't have it but rugged ridge came out with an aluminum bumper. Would that hold up better than steel under salty conditions?

 

Look at body armor
