Hey Jeep Friends,
I'm looking to add a better-than-stock front bumper to my JK that will add a bit of critter protection.
I'm also medium to long term looking at a winch option. I know there are countless debates for the Receiver-mount vs. hard mount; for my needs the receiver mount makes more sense (I spend 99% of time on highways or gravel roads with only the occasional bit of rough stuff; I typically don't need major side-pulls nor do I need to worry much about approach angles as the terrain is rarely that bad. I OCCASIONALLY get stuck in mud where a road is washed out -- but when I'm not using it for adventure, my jeep is a DD for the wife and we don't need the extra 100+ lbs of a winch on all the time)
So the next part is this: I have 600 dollars worth of "stuff" to get from the dealer in terms of aftermarket accessories, so the MOPAR Off Road bumper looks like it'll be basically free to me (I won't use the $600 for anything else besides maybe maintenance).
Does anyone know if the MOPAR off road bumper (http://www.quadratec.com/products/12116_1021_07.htm) will work with a front receiver like this one: http://www.quadratec.com/products/92011_0001_07.htm
I know Olympic 4x4 offers a stubby with a built in receiver but I'd prefer more protection, so I don't really want a stubby.
Does anyone have this set up that can offer some advice?
Cheers
Craig
