Silly topic: whats everyones feelings towards mixing different bumper manufacturers?

[3TV]

I've always bought front and rear bumpers with similar styling, but they never seem to be from the same manufacturer. I agree with the OP, for some reason manufacturers have a hard time making both a front and rear bumper than I like. Right now I have a Shrockworks front bumper and a GoRhino Rock Line rear bumper. But they're both black textured finish, so I'm good with that.

That should work. Not sure if you can tell, but its all clear there to get a bolt through?

Yes. Nothing underneath there to interfere. Open space from the recovery point to the edge.

Go Next Venture Motorsports. I'm completely biased however as I'm their sales guy. The stuff does look perty good on my rig though.

Is that rear bumper the rim rocker? Does it work with the factory hitch and trailer wiring block?

That is the featherweight aluminum rear. I do really like the steel rimrocker bumper though which is what Dan (our founder/designer) has on his rig currently. I doubly like the tire carrier version, but since I literally went in and told them to treat me like the Buddah and make me one with everything..... (F/R bumpers, corner/tail lamp armor, rock rails, belly skids, f/r diff covers and skids) I have to use aluminum where I can or else I'm going to be too fat to fly.
And yes, it works with the factory hitch/wiring block though I shed my hitch for the clearance.

I see your order. Dude, thats so humbling to have you change your plans around and go with us. I'mma tag it and tell our shipping department to throw some shwag in with it for you! Thank you.

Can’t get a good look at the front and rear at the same time anyway. Go with what you like.

awesome thanks! I put 2 and 2 together and realized you are the same person I was talking with over email back in sept in regards to the bumpers. You were very helpful then, and now being able to see it and not just a render definitely helped!

What company did you go with? I'm the same by the way, so either abnormal or save me a seat on that bus lol. I like the NextVenture rears but nothing full for the front at all, sadness. I'm leaning towards Warn/ARB/LOD for now, Jeep delivery still pending of course I need all the sensors to work out of the box without "figuring it out" too. That's a big consideration for me as well.

I'm OCD, so I had to get matching front bumper, rear bumper, and rock rails/steps. But I say get what meets your needs.

It me.

I went with Next Venture featherlight aluminum front and rear bumpers.

on the front I opted for the stinger and Im going run top-mount Baja Designs Squadron SAE fogs. In the back I grabbed some Baja Designs S2 sport flush mount LEDs.

Very nice! Definitely post up some pics when installed. I wish they'd make a wider front and I'd be a customer

I’m having the same dilemma. To top it off companies that had bumpers I really liked on JK’s either won’t fit or don’t look right on a JL. Or the company (AEV) totally redesigned it and I don’t care for the new one. And I don’t want a rear that ends up causing body damage like I’ve seen other places with the Mopar.
