Default Front Bumper Replacement Recommendations

My son, rear ended someone a few weeks ago in the XJ. Looking to replace the original factory stock front bumper, with something a little more fun. Any great recommendations out there? Will not likely put on a winch, but trying to look for something a little more aggressive, but without breaking the bank!

Any advice, or leads appreciated!

Dirt bound offroad, rigid, jcr, or look up actionfab on pirate. He makes a sweet little bumper

If your looking for the rear ender deluxe bumper, my vote is for the Rigidco fbg. Non winch but a serious duty front receiver that ties into a cross member reinforcement setup that can handle a winch no problem.that's the route I went anyhow, very sturdy, and Terry is a great Guy to deal with, I'm patiently waiting for my back Rigidco rbm bumper to be completed right now.

X2 on rigidco. My front winch bumper took about a month but he is a 1man show and does quality work. I also run his sliders. And my bumper is held on my 26 bolts ! Here's a pic but I have several pics before paint and the install process.

I've got an ARB bull bar and love the look and how the winch is out of the way of the radiator.

I went through Virginia fab, a vendor on here. My bumper was surprisingly cheap but the quality isn't. He also makes stubby bumpers that are kinda cool you should check him out

I second this, I had him make me a stubby bumper with D ring mounts and that thing is stout and well done. I also live and hour away from him.
