I did, but didnt come across this. Thanks for sharing tho. Im leaning towards the LODs & Poison spyder.
You can't go wrong with either.. I have LoD up front and many owners are big on Poison Spyder. Best of luck on the search & when you've made your choice, hopefully we'll see the results here.

Well I’ve been going back and forth between Mopar OEM steel, LOD signature, Patriot aluminum. Wanted something with winch and possible flat tow RV capabilities. But my wife made it easy for me. She only likes the Mopar OEM steel bumper. The other ones look too ā€œJeepyā€. I’ve got a line on a used OEM with LED fogs and baseplate for a decent price. Hope it works out. I know I can always sell it if I change my mind.

Winch mounts on top, easy access. This is the Destroyer stubby.

I love this look. Whats the best place to buy the LOD Stubby front bumper? I looked on Quadratec and it looks like this bumper is cheaper than ordering straight from LOD. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Just jumping in because I have the same bumper setup and I ordered through Northridge 4x4. They have a discount code for forum members so that could help save a little money. I'd make sure you go on the LoD website and configure it how you want first before you order through a seperate company like Quadratec or Northridge if you are looking for extra parts like the flat tow hooks or the fairlead bracket and so on

Installed my LOD today - Signature series full width with smittybilt winch - probably the best aftermarket bumper I have owned, fit and finish was awesome a little tricky to install main 8 bolts, but winch plate and fog lights were a breeze.

looking at a similar setup with bumper/winch. did you notice much drop in the front end with the added weight? or notice any changes in handling with more weight in the front? thanks!

Dropped about an inch in the front - that will be corrected with some taller coils. No changes in handling but I haven’t had any handling issues either.

Hey NathanG - That looks fantastic, and I really like the wheels too! Did the Destroyer mount to the frame rails, or the rear crossmember? Does it look like there might be a place to hook tow chains?

What wheels are those, Method?

Bumpers, you want bumpers, here they are. YES I know this gonna brings out the jokes, laughter, haters etc. Fine by me, its ok and heard it for years.

Front bumper is my build, its light weight, strong beyond its looks.. If you think it cannot take a hit, this>
Driving down Frank Loyd Wright Blvd in Scottsdale AZ on the way to do some shopping. I am driving alone on the street which is 2 lanes and I am going 55 mph. The light ahead turns green and its a long green light, I drive this almost every day.

I get to the intersection and as I enter a Caddy runs the red light, I do not have time to even hit the brakes and I hit Caddy full force, passenger side rear quarter panel at the top of the tire. I see the truck literaly explode under the impact it flies off the caddy breaking its hinges. The caddy is a huge 4 door, I don't even hit the rear passenger door yet the glass explodes and so does the passenger front door glass. The axle is offset from the frame. We slide around and stop, I back up and drive around and park on the stree behind. I get out and run to the caddy and open the door, praying there are no passengers injured. There is only the driver. The driver, turns and looks at me and says: "Ohhh Sonny, I am so sorry, I did not see the light, I only one eye!" As her head turns to face me, she ONLY has one eye!

Her caddy was a '92 4 door sedan, a monster of a car, she was 90 years old. I tell her to just sit there and ask if she feels hurt. It was a major intersection and cops are already there. They tell her to stay in the car and an ambulance arrives, they put her in for observation. She not sure what is going on, but asks the cops to call her Son. They live just down the street and they are there in minutes.

Cop looks around as there a crowd and asks who and where is the car that hit her? I say its me. Where is your car. It the red jeep as we walk toward it. Cops looks and walks around my Jeep and asks, where did you hit her. Front bumper. WHAT! I have seen a lot of wrecks but you could have hit with that bumper! Yes I did, I built it and designed it.

POST SCRIPT: The lady loses her DL, her car is totaled, I get a letter from here insurance company lawyers wanting to settle the claim. I write a response and request a check for $0.97 for a can of glaoss black for the scrape mark on my stinger on the front of the bumper and tell them that is ALL the damage.

The rear bumper I had custom built. YES it is UGLY. But I carried a $100 bill in my wallet and as they laughed at it I would pull it out and offer it to anyone who cares to take a 10 lb sledge hammer and dent it. In the nearly 10 years I ran it, no one ever put a dent in it...Schedule 40 Steel pipe.
