Who makes the best looking and performing winch bumper?
I bent my stock bumper pretty good on a trail run yesterday and it got me looking at aftermarket bumpers. I'm a fan of keeping my XJ looking stock so I'm trying to avoid bulky bumpers with hoops, tubes, etc but I want something strong enough to take some abuse. I've always liked the ARB Bull Bars because they look clean but I'm open to other suggestions (hopefully cheaper). I don't have a welder so building one is not an option for me. Suggestions and pictures are welcome!

I love my arb bull bar, but they're not cheap. I've had mine about 9 years and it still looks mostly new, the finish is AMAZING. In my opinion I think a bumper choice is very individual. I say pick what features you want, then pick how much you want to pay.

Here's pretty much the best Basic looking winch bumper your going to find. Not a bad price also. Plus there's different options to choose from. Link provided below.

Trailready has the best looking bumper around, couldn't tell ya about their performance though. Oh, and better shell out a grand for the front and more for a loaded rear.
