Recommendation: Stubby front bumper, winch-ready, circular lights (arb alternative)

[baz]

Hello,

Looking for recommendations for a stubby winch-capable front bumper that can support round lights (like KC's) similar to the Arb Stubby Bumper:

I like this arb one but the stinger may be too straight for my tastes, or maybe not, anyone have it and care to comment?

I've got a Rugged Ridge HD stubby with X-Striker on order - winch capable, accepts factory fogs, and with a little drilling you could likely mount any standard light. I believe there may be some quality issues with this bumper, but I can let you know once I get it if you like.

My vote, LOD Destroyer. You can install the KC on the rail or drill a hole wherever you want.

I went with the Red Rock Attack stubby. Winch ready, fits stock fogs, and has tabs on the bull bar so that you can attach additional lights.

I opted for LOD as well. I went with the signature series which I was told has now changed to the same bull bar as the destroyer series which leans forward more. It also has the option to mount lights on the top of the bull bar. Just ordered last week so it’s not here yet, otherwise I’d send pics.

I love my LOD Destroyer.

I went with the LOD Signature series so the winch mount sits a little lower. Very pleased with the quality. I also flat tow the Jeep with it and the attachment points are very secure.

i too am interested in input from ARB front bumper owners and also ease of installation, The LOD and Warn intrigue me as well.

Curious if you installed the bumper? I just did and I like it. Quality seems good but a super tight fit with a winch. Installed the Stryker bar and added a Smittybilt x20 winch but I had to move the solenoid off-center to get it to fit. The winch contacts the grill and I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems and figured out how to fix it. Debated taking it off and adding a few more washers to extend the bumper another 1/2 inch. Otherwise, I'm happy with it.

I have the same set up in the garage for my garage waiting for FCA to build my JLUR. Super excited and got a good deal on Black Friday.

Thankfully LoD is back up and running after their fire. I was going to go with them for my bumper as well.
