Barnes Pritchett Canyon bumper just arrived and sent to powdercoat. In the past I did not think I would like the tube style bumper but saw this on a couple of rigs and really liked it. The weld quality from Barnes is excellent and bumper showed up in less time than they said, packaged well with now damage. I will get some pictures when i get it back and installed.

I was able to get the bumper and winch installed yesterday. Bumper installed well, fit was good and not a bad install at all. Winch, not so much. The Superwinch is too tight a fit I did get it in, the wires are too close to grill. Wonder why winch manufactures run their wires out the back and not the side. Seems like most winch mountings would benefit from this.

I got this same bumper a few years ago, and I really like it! If I’m honest, it was the only one I could find that would ship to Alaska. However, I did like how unique it is. Just a different look, and I agree—super quality. I also found the winch to be a tight fit. Probably kept mine from being stolen in storage! I really wish they’d make the rear with a spare cutout and compatible with backup sensors, but I don’t think that’ll happen. It’s good to see these popping up now!

Finally installed my LP6 replacements. Really love the quality and light output of these. Plus, I think they go great with the Barnes bumper!

Those are nice, would have been my first choice but couldn't spend that much. I do like the Diode Dynamics though.
Now your giving me a size complex, maybe bigger is better?

Thanks! Honestly, I wouldn’t have spent that much either, but I had the Jeep in storage, and someone stole my original setup. The company said “buy some lights and send us the receipt.” I was expecting a partial payment and was fine with that as I took it as a re-do opportunity to put something higher quality on, but they paid for them in full.

As for the size, I originally had some small fogs on the outside, and I felt like it needed something. I mounted a bigger pair on the bar, and I liked the look. Tons of useful light, too.

When I researched what to replace them with, I decided maybe just one set mounted on the bumper, but bigger than the fogs. I ran across JK Gear’s JT with this bumper and light setup and was sold. I also really liked the look and functionality of the amber lenses, and compared to the original light, the amber really does what people say. Easier on the eyes and cuts through moisture in the air.

Here’s my original setup with just the fogs and then all 4:
