Default Warn front winch bumper...

Only rated for 9500? Is there a reason, the new xrc is half the price and 12000 rated. Odd

Warn is made in the USA vs S/B being made in China Labor is cheap in china so is quality usually. 12000 lbs is over kill for an XJ all you need is an 8000lb winch and a snatchblock you'll be fine. IMO I would trust a warn bumper over a SB bumper. An I am a former employee of 4wp I handled their stuff all day for a few years an I can say there is a very limited amount of their products that I will run. An Yes I have an XRC8 Comp for my XJ an that is the only SB part I have

I just ordered a smittybilt winch bumper the other day. I'll update you on how it looks and fits when it arrives (im assuming its gonna take some work to get it fitting nice). I've seen the warn bumper in person and it is a very nice piece, but you pay for it.
