Hi nacho. You pretty much cannot go wrong with any American made bumper. There are several brands that are contributors on this forum. I went with LOD bumpers front and back and have not one complaint.

I have the Expedition One Rear Bumper and love it. It is linked to the tailgate so confident as well. The company is up in Ogden as an added plus.

Welcome to WAL Nacho!! Yeah man as others have said, any American made system is going to perform well and hold up well over abuse! I plan to go the LoD route as a couple have suggested but another manufacturer to look into might be JCR. They are really popular where I'm from but deservingly so because they produce, from what I can tell at least, a great high quality American made product.

Oh I thank you all for your input and am I able to tow with the bumpers you all have recommended?

Welcome to WAL!
Did you consider running bumperless? I saw on your other thread lots of guys saying the stock mount will work with your 35's. Your hitch is independent of the bumper, so you can still pull a trailer.
I took my Poison Snyder off to repaint it and liked the look without it so much that I'm not putting it back on. I'm ordering the EVO fascia kit from Trail Jeeps tomorrow...

Yep, you bet! I will post a couple up tomorrow.... I just got back from shopping all day and I NEED BEER!
I'm going to mount my EVO carrier I just got back from the powder coaters tomorrow and I'll take some before I get started...
You might want to check some of the build threads here... there's a ton of guys running this way. This look really started
growing on me after I took my bumper off & ran without it the last month.

Hopefully that link works. If it doesn't check out his build thread "Coming up to speed with Grubicon" and go to page 11 at the bottom.
Also check out some of the build threads with lots of views... those guys tend to have the most built up Jeeps...
