I'd definitely go with the JCR bumpers. I need to get a front bumper soon.

Can anyone think of deciding factors between no hoop, vertical, angled, or prerunner?

I like a hoop for strength, and I like angled w/o prerunner bars for easier grille/headlight work. That's where my decision came from. Anything else I should consider in that decision?

Not a fan of the style, and there's no info about mounting.

I like JCR with no hoop, but I want the protection. Probably wouldn't ever need it...maybe I should just buy it without and save money.

For me it came down to how I wanted to mount lights. That's why I went with the prerunner style with hoop
