Hello all,
So I am trying to decide on bumpers and have pretty much narrowed it down to either Rockhard 4x4 aluminum bumpers, or Rugged Ridge Arcus (or possibly Spartacus) stamped steel.
I feel like the weight would be similar (trying very hard to keep this Jeep from being a heavy metal tank like my last one)
Being in the northeast I need to be concerned with rust issues so obviously that one goes to the aluminum, but even the mopar bumpers are stamped steel so perhaps I am over thinking that end of things.
I am a little concerned on the strength of the stamped steel, but really like the look when compared to most regular aftermarket bumpers.
Also like the price of the rugged ridge compared to the rock hard, but I am a little concerned if it is not a case of you get what you pay for?
Any other possible pros and cons that I am missing?
Thank you in advance -
