    I'm going to have to suggest this bumper for my dad. He has a jk Sahara and likes off roading but likes to keep some of the OEM look.

    Its a nice bumper. Not light, as this one scaled at 123 pounds, so account for some front end sag.

    I'm really happy with them. Way better than OEM, and an affordable price.

    I wasn't worried about looks, as much as I was wanting more clearance, and protection for the fenders. Ive read too much about the AEV bumpers rusting, and my buddy has a Warn Elite on his Jeep, and is happy with it. Ive looked at a few, and this is what my Wife got me for Christmas :)

    Sorry Chris...I was replying to RC JEEP who said he was interested in OEM looks.

    By the way, AEV makes all of the Wrangler steel bumpers on the special editions for Jeep. AEV's standard bumper is also a factory option and Mopar part. They ARE OEM. AEV had a short run which had an issue with a weld rusting after just a few years and have dealt with it. My AEV has been giving great service since 2008. I am just starting to have rust issues where the paint have been damaged.

    If you can't tell....I am a fan. :duel:

    Got some JW Speaker LED Lights to install in the new bumper. Headstrong off road hooked me up with super fast delivery, and a great price. Pics to follow
