I know the Maximus has more stabilization but I kinda like the Mopar. Any input? Experiences with either? Yeah, it’s a hoop but what is the powder coat quality? Any rust issues?

Stinger instead of hoop but the powder coat on the Maximus3 is holding up fine after 3 years.

My Maximus-3 SLP bull bar still looks awesome after 3 years of life on a Jeep that hasn't been washed since it was 6 months old. Also, I personally find the 2.5" bars to be more proportionate to our JL's vs the typical 2" bars.

Hoops are ugly and totally unnecessary.

If you're leaning toward the Mopar bar, there is a "knock off" on amazon for $75ish. I purchased it for the oem steel bumpers I'm installing on our incoming Sahara. It looks identical to the Mopar at a fraction of the cost.

I always felt that the Mopar bar was too short, so I went with the Maximus SLP as well. Holding up well after 2+ years.

Did anyone release a strip LED lighted version yet? I saw a pic of a SEMA build with (what I thought was to be) a Mopar option last year but have yet to see anyone selling that. Granted for me its all show, don't need the bar, but would like to see that option if they are out there. TIA.

I like 2nd more, that's Warn right? I'm conflicted between that and the maximux 3 stinger. I don't like the 2 hoops on the Max stinger else I'd get that. Is the Warn pipe 2" or 2.5"? They don't give you any details

I've seen what you describe, more or less, from Rough Country and Westin. Bumper bars with internally mounted and wired light bars.

I got both, the Mopar and warn mid-height. Not set on which I prefer yet, but leaning towards the warn since its more agressive look works better with the RR snorkel.

Love the snorkel, don’t trust RR products but it’s the most minimally invasive install I’ve seen and it looks awesome!

I love it too. Install was a breeze. I recently had the cowl part painted and I think it makes it all come together and look stock (see avatar). Currently have the high snorkel on to bug the wife cause she hates it :)

Thank you for your helpful and insightful comment. It's good to have someone in here who has encountered every offroad situation a person's gear could come across, worldwide.

The Maximus-3 SLP bull bar is the same as their Stinger without those outer hoops. Only Maximus-3 uses 2.5" tubing, that I'm aware of. Warn and Mopar are definitely 2".
