Bestop
Developed specifically for the hardcore rockcrawler and city driver alike, the HighRock 4x4 front bumper and rear bumper by Bestop feature a high-access design for greater clearance. The durable and stylish front bumper can be used with the optional 2-foot Approach Roller and has an E-coat undercoating and a textured black powdercoat finish, which not only provides protection from moisture penetration but also ensures a tough exterior finish. The HighRock 4x4 rear bumper is a conventional yet stylish heavy-duty bumper made with the same undercoating and texture as the front bumper. Bestop also offers a number of accessories and bolt-on equipment for these new JK bumpers.

PureJeep
New from PureJeep are the front JK Crawler stubby bumper and rear JK Crawler bumper. The front bumper features a narrower-than-stock design that provides more approach angle for the front tires when tackling large rocks on the trail. The narrow bumper will prevent the tires rubbing in turns, under most conditions, on tires up to 35 inches in diameter. The bumper accommodates the factory foglamps and fits over the factory underrider bar that hangs below the frame, protecting it and the Rubicon edition's sway-bar-disconnect motor from trail damage.
The Crawler rear bumper is designed to complement the distinct body lines of the new JK Wrangler. It retains the rear factory towhitch or towhook without sacrificing any ground clearance. The swing-away tire carrier allows owners to run tires up to 39 inches in diameter, and it takes all of the weight off the stock tailgate to eliminate tailgate-hinge sag and misalignment.For more information, contact: PureJeep, (661) 304-0360, www.purejeep.com.
American Expedition Vehicles
American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) is well-known for quality fabrication. The company's new front JK bumper is constructed of heavy-gauge stamped steel and retains the factory airbag crush cans to help prevent low-speed deployment. Additionally, the AEV bumper utilizes the factory foglamps while offering two heavy-duty light tabs for large off-roading lamps. Stainless steel perforated-steel mesh in the front allows you to see the winch cable spooling in, and the included winch mount tucks neatly between the framerails. Other features include: a winch mount, light mount tabs, E-coated surfaces, corrosion protection coating, included tow loops, and optional skidplates that are available for purchase.
