Default Best front bumper?

I have a 3 inch lift 01 xj and i'm looking for a good front bumper. I don't need a winch but a few light mounts would be nice. I don't want to have to worry about rust, poor fit or any of that. Bang for buck. Tasteful but mean.

Make, model and pricing please

Not to be rude, or to start anything, but do research; it's always a better find in my opinion, when you do your own hunting.

When you're in college, no tools and barely any time making isn't an option

check out jcr, you cn definately find a nice bumper in your range, that one on quadratec is over priced imho. but thats just my opinion, do some research on your own. whats best for me or someone else might not be best for you.

200-300$ you could sign up for night classes at a comunity college for welding and make a bumper as your project. or you can pick up a decent used 110 welder a teach yourself. Its a good way to save money, learn a skill, and build cool stuff

I am on full scholarship as an army officer candidate at Penn state university. I have no time nor desire to do so and I've got mounds of other **** to deal with on top of this schedule daily

0415am wake up
0500am - 0800am ranger team pt
0805am - 0950 am accounting
1100-1150 am geo sci
1200-100pm meetings
1-200pm stat class
400pm-600pm lab

I asked a simple question and that was what would be a
good bumper to buy.
