If it's the tall / prerunner height bull bar look that you're after, you could go with the JCR Prerunner Bar like I did. Bolts right onto the factory steel bumper.

Looks really good! ?? I notice the AEV has a cover, sorta like the older Range Rover. I wonder if anybody else offers that? … I do like yours also. Definitely will consider. Thx again!

Mopar makes one that's not obnoxious. This is the best picture of it that I could find: https://fortec4x4.com/products/jep-82215120?variant=1662507679769

But yeah, the AEV front bumper is pretty slick. Clean lines with no visible welds. Nice touches like rubber knee pads for working on the engine, etc. Hot stamped boron steel, however, is damn expensive.

I like the AEV bumper and the OEM bumper, so I went with the Maximus 3 classic hoop and light bracket with the AEV 7000 series lights. It resembles the look of the older AEV bumper on the JK's.

The lights are amazing...very bright. I went with AEV lights because I like the look, and I wanted a light that was easy to wire up to one aux switch. I was on the fence between these and the BD LP6 but decided against the BDs because they have a high and low beam option that would need to be wired to two aux switches, or I would have to go through the firewall with the supplied switch from BD. BD lights are great, and I'm sure KC's are too. I have two BDs on the back of the Jeep and have the new amber fogs on order.

Same as you, want AEV, don’t want to pay for it. Maximus 3 Classic Hoop was the only option that looked really good to me.

I like it a lot! Think I’m headed in that direction…. :) by the way Sarge is ? May I suggest, add a couple off road lights under that bar to complement the Look.

@dshark1 Photo for side view. Also, Keep in mind that hoop will block a good bit of the front facing camera if you have the trail cam.
