I did the Smittybilt Xrc 2 front bumper. I think it technically a mid size bumper but it's not much bigger than the stubby's. I don't have the Led lights but my OEM fog lights bolted right up. I liked that the winch is mounted down low and doesn't block my grill. Also liked that the skid plate was built in. The one thing I didn't realize was how heavy it is and it sticks out a little more than I like which could maybe limit my approach angle more than some bumpers.

I have the same question. I’ve been considering the Smittybilt xcr or the LoD front bumper. I was wondering what lic plate bracket people use on the xcr. I’m in Texas and we have to have a front license plate.

I went with the Hauk front and rear bumpers. I had to sell a lung to pay for them and waited for 3.5 months for them to come in but I really love them haha:)

Man your rig looks fantastic! I'm looking at getting some quake tempest series headlights next. I just have a sport s so at present my stoke headlights look like dirty teeth haha.
Did you use the hauk sliders too? They told me that the attachable side step prototype will be ready for testing in two weeks, then if good will go into production a month later.

Thank you. Front bumper is all I have from Hauk. I bought some amp steps, but they wouldn’t fit due to the way my lift is designed. I’m going to go with rock-slide engineering steps. I need the 12” drop to help get in lol.

Oh hey thank you! I had them custom powder coated gloss black with a pebble texture and powder coated the shackles and wench guard red. It cost a lil more but I'm super happy with it. My only issue is that my tire is bouncing around some on the carrier arm that my installer needs to figure out.

Thanks. Yes it was I really like it.
Does it come with a cover plate for the top if you don't install a winch or is it left open?

I think it’s left open. I didn’t see a option for one when I ordered mine. No complaints about the bumper I love it, my only complaint was how long it took to get it.
