I dont even think you could extend them enough to mount them. Unless you just zip tie them on like rob.

I don't plan to add lights until after I move on from the bumper to something else, so that isn't a big deal to me.

And that's fine, but I could have someone I know make one from scratch if I wanted to do custom. I don't like the look of what's offered, the bumpers are modeled on a multicolored Jeep, and it doesn't give any info about mounting.

I haven't seen the products in person, but the marketing is bad, and I've always liked the JCR look.

It's the same shock. If you buy cheap, they're probably coming from the same factory. At that point, you're buying a sticker.

Considered it. I like L&L, but I like the JCR design more. Besides that, I can save in shipping if I buy both from them.

If I were buying a prerunner winch bumper, it'd be from Leonard.

Edit: With military discount, JCR is $587 shipped for both.
