Maximus or Mopar Steel Bumper Hoop?

[MesaAZGuy]

Cheapie Amazon deal. Matches factory texture really good. It's gonna get chipped up from rocks and crap. When it does, off to powder coat shop.

Some pics to compare to the mopar if anyone is interested.

Which KC light mounts are those?

KC HiLiTES 73071, had to go through every size to get a set that fit

Anyone with the Grimm bar, is the texture the same as the stock steel bumper? My factory steel came with a RockHard 4x4 bar and while it looks good, the texture is different and it drives my OCD nuts. It's got a sheen to it.

The texture looks almost identical, in my opinion. The bumper is a slightly rougher texture, but it isn’t noticeable unless you get really close or feel it. I tried taking some pictures just now, but it’s hard to tell in the dark. I’m fairly OCD myself, and it passes muster for me.

Since I started this guess it is time to chime in…
So here we go:
Installed the Maximus Classic Hoop tonight and it looks fantastic. Very and I mean very slight sheen difference on powdercoat. I see people saying “I’m OCD and…” well I actually have OCD and it passes my judgement.
Pics will follow but first:
1) Nut clip removal on the forward holes away from grille are a bitch! Go ahead btw and remove the outer 2 most nut clips on the filler plate if you are reinstalling because they rattle very bad and the holes are covered by the hoop footings anyway.
2) My stock bumper bolts would not fit the hoop bend portion. Think hoop mounted bent towards grille…stock bolts wouldn’t go.
3) Frame mounts are a PITA, be sure to leave loose along with hoop hardware otherwise the mounting holes do not align.
4) The stainless tiny Maximus logo doesn’t remotely look right on the bumper and thankfully is removable. However, there will be 4 tiny purposeless holes in the hoop footings at this point.
5) Front camera is very obstructed with the hoop leaning inward.

Honestly expected more from a $300+ hoop as far as fit, design, attention to detail but at the end of the day, it’s a freaking hoop.

Not my Jeep but shows the Mopar triple hoop with some LP4’s. Must be a little higher than the Maximus triple hoop.

Don't think the Mopar Triple-hoop is much higher (and may be even a bit shorter at the center), but the Maximus-3 XLP is a thicker diameter pipe and much more rounded inward, making the LP4 a tighter fit.

Yeah, I've got the same arrangement and the LP4's just barely make it. My SLP bull bar is the same exact as the XLP, minus the outer hoops.

Also, I reversed the mounting brackets to offset the lamps further back instead of forward. This pulled the lamps further back and under the bar. I didn't want them to be the leading edge on the front bumper.

Maximus-3 XLP Loop

How is the camera view?

I went with the Mopar low loop and have been very happy with it.

Great finish on the Maximus

The stinger looks great how does it work with the front camera? Does it block much?

This is the only picture I have of it.

Just bought the low Mopar single loop guard. I like the Maximus 3 since you can mount it in either direction but didn't want the branding on it and the Mopar one can be found for ~$50 less.

more stuff i didn't know i wanted until now. that mopar triple hoop nails those bends just right for me.
