TJ front bumper opinion needed

My bumper choice would be a stubby fashion of some sort, and the D ring mounts would have to be acceptable to be flat tow capable. That might narrow down the choices a bit.
Like this 46" from Rock Hard 4X4? You can get it with or without the hoop and all have built-in winch plates and towing capable D-ring mounts.

Do you really need a winch ?
The Mopar end caps don't look all that bad .....
You have a great looking TJ !
No .... probably not . I am going to trail ride with it but probably not to much.

@glwood, how did you mount the fog lights? I can't tell from the pics. I talked with Robert at Dirtworks, as I'm looking at the exact same set-up you have. He said extra tabs for mounting lights were available, or he just provides holes in the stock TJ location. I'm not looking at my TJ at the moment, so unsure just where that stock location is. Is that what you've got? Your set-up looks incredible, btw...
Thanks for the compliments. I really like Robert's work, he knows how to make a quality bumper that's priced right, that's for sure.
If you look real close at the first photo in post #36, you'll see a hole on the top of the front bumper that is outside of the two mounting bolt holes. That is for the fog light. The only thing is, the oem fog lights have a locating tab on the mounting bracket that keeps the light from turning. I had to drill a small extra hole for that tab. If you get the same front bumper setup, and re-use the factory fogs, you'll see what I mean. One tip - check the fog light mounting prior to finishing the bumper...I didn't, and had to touch up where I drilled the hole for the locating tab.
Excellent! I do see the holes now that you've pointed them out. And thanks for the heads-up on the locating tab, as I was unaware of that. It's funny, but in your first pic, the front bumper looks to be straight, without the tapered-back ends. I kept going back and forth between the pics trying to figure out what I was missing. LOL Anyways, I was describing to Robert what I was looking for before I ever came across your post. It was nice to be able to see the pics and say "That's what I'm looking for." I really like his work...
The second and fourth photos show the 'bend' in the bumper more...like you, I searched long and hard looking for installed Dirtworx bumper pix prior to making my decision. That's why I have posted as many as I have, not just on WTJF...
Nice, can't wait to see the end result. :beer-toast1:
