AEV RX front Bumper Opinions?

[MojitoWilly]

Looking at the AEV RX Gen 2 or my Warn Zeon XD 10S to live on my 26 Willys. It's spendy but I love the OE Plus look, the no drill install and the lighter weight. Who has personal experience with these ? Especially the gen 2. Thanks

I have the stubby RX on my '23 JLUR. Style-wise, it's never been my favorite bumper, but I was overwhelmed by all the bumper choices when I was a noob, and my buddy had it, so I went for it. It's been a good bumper. The powder coat has held up great in the PNW for nearly four years. On the downside, it's fiddly to install. There are a lot of parts. That's one of the reasons I've never replaced it with something else. I just don't wanna go through the PITA that will be taking it all apart!

I have the AEV full RX bumper the dealer installed on my 2023 JL with AEV driving lights. It's quality metal and looks Great. The bull bar isn't removable without taking the whole bumper off. Therefore I couldn't tilt the front grill forward to install a BOLT hood lock. You can't get to the two round fog lights to convert them to LED with out taking 80% of the bumper apart.
