Everyone has different preferences. I run a JCR bumper so I'd choose them. Someone who runs nates is going to pick nates. Just pick whatever one you like the best.

You probably havent got any responses because it's a personal choice. All three are nice bumpers honestly comes down to your budget and what styling you like. Not trying to be a smartass just its your jeep dont let us spend your money lol

I like the dirtbound one, but it's your jeep. L&L makes a nice winch bumper for $375 shipped

All I can say is JCR bumpers fit like a glove and line up perfect. They cost a bit more but they're top notch, built to order quality products. When a 9500lb winch and recovery points are in use the last thing you want is for a crappy weld to break free because you purchased a budget bumper. I had no issue paying a little more knowing that mine was being built by profession welders and fabricators.

Or if you have your own welder and you're good at it they also have DIY bumpers for really cheap.

I did too but I don't have anyone I'd trust welding it up. I really like their DIY lineup.
