I have a 2021 2 door jeep jl 3.6l and I am about to start getting front bumpers and brush guards new headlights new tail lights maybe different fenders and flood lights and I just am wondering what if say for instance I buy a front bumper and consequently need different render flares, or maybe I cant get certain fender flares bc they rub, or like what if I get headlights but they aren't compatible with the bumper I want and how would I even know sorry for my 5th grade way of typing lol

A front bumper shouldn't impact your headlights or fenders...unless you are going with something like the grumper. And if that's the case...none of us can help you here...😂

Lol nah I'm not goin with that. If I change my grill it will be a variation of the oem jeep slits.

I do want a different bumper though, which could rub my fenders I'm guessing lol

You should have plenty of space between your fenders and bumper.

Bumper don’t flex and therefore don’t rub fenders. However, if you choose a wide bumper and chopped fenders and end-up with the bumper wider than the fender flares, that will look pretty odd.

I would go with a stubby. Oem Rubicon steel bumper is what I have and recommend. That way you can go full width or stubby.

As noted any semi normal bumper will work ok. I’m running the Rockhard Patriot Aluminum front and rear.looks good and works well for my winch and use as a TOAD. Full width with the stock fenders works good.

Your post reads like you haven't done any research at all and want answers that none of us can give.
Bumpers, fender flares and headlights are a good place to start, but there are too many variables across manufacturers to say "Get this and not this."
You also might want to take into consideration how YOU will be using your Jeep.

Browse the forum and see what others have done that might be close to what you're looking for. Then if you have specific questions, fire away.

Nice I'm not sure I need a winch but it would look sweet

I was looking around and I think I like this

Good bumper. 👍. IF you plan on actually doing any off road stuff a winch and other “self rescue” equipment is very nice to have. If it’s a street only Jeep no need. (If you only “rarely” go off road look at a come along and snatch straps. You can build a “cheap” self rescue set up-its a lot more work IF you need it, but it will get you home)
