The more I research the more I'm liking the stubby look. No offense to the hoop guys but the "less is more" looks cleaner in my opinion.
The "best" is purely a matter of opinion, as long as it's beefy enough.

I have been researching bumpers for quite some time..I believe that the best VALUE for one is currently Nate's. But as stated before... It's honestly what you NEED that will make your decision. Rocks or trails/wooded mainly? Need a winch? Mounted or hitch style? Save on weight or more beef?

I'm sure its functional but the design is terrible. IMO the front is just flat and the ends are very "boxy" but if you like it cool... My favorite used to be the RIGIDCO bumpers. But I think JCR has changed my mind with their new design. This is coming from a guy that makes bumpers.

I really like my Rigidco fwb it's take several hard hits and no other company has a bumper that is held on by so many bolts or has the winch plate reinforcement plates that sandwich the front crossmember. It's held on my 26 grade 8 bolts.
