budget stubby bumper

[MedixJK]

Ok two questions for you poison spyder folks. 1) what do you do w factory fogs if the bumper doesnt have place for em. 2) since the ship bare metal, what is the best thing to coat them with? Id like a matte black finish.

Rough Country also makes bumper caps as well.

Ok peeps, i need some input. The factory bumper on my jku came dinged up when i bought it so im lookin to replace it. Dont have alot to spend and i want a stubby style so heres what im debating. Rugged ridge all terrain stubby vs. Or fab stubby. Im not planning on a winch anytime soon. Just want d rings and a spot for factory fogs. Any ideas are welcome.

Shaffers Offroad makes this bumper which is about as stubby as you can get. Low cost. The vacuum pump was fastened into the engine compartment as shown in the image below. The ram assist cooler (not shown) is fastened behind the bumper. The S does not have to be cut out - just something i wanted to accent the blue on my jeep in other places.

Check out the write up that Eddie did on the PUREJEEP JK Bare Bonez. It has everything you wanted. They have it just like how he did it. Front winch combo. Light bar, and D-rings.
Think it sells for around $330. I really like it

I have the Brawler Lite front bumper and it comes with provisions for the factory fogs. You just screw them in from the back before mounting. And I washed the metal with soap and water, dried it, rattle can primered, then rattle can sprayed bed liner. Looks awesome and easy to touch up. But more expensive than some of the bumpers mentioned here.

i know this has been quite awhile ago, but im going to be chopping my bumper tonight after work. when you did yours how far did you come from the bump pad? yours is one of the best looking ones ive seen for sure. and after you hollowed the end out did they go in pretty easy or did it take some persuasion?
