I have a Kilby 42" front. I love it. I have come down on it pretty hard a few times and it holds up reallly nice  A GREAT deal too I might add. I like the fact that you dont need a winchplate, just a fairlead mount. If youd like, I can snap some pics of it tomorrow!

Pics would be awesome! I am definatly getting the kilby front bumper, my question should have been more directed towards the highrock rear bumper. I love that kilby, and the built in winch plate just makes it all look some smooth and clean. The only decision i have to make is 42'' or 50''? So if you have some pics of your 42 that would be great as i dont think ive ever seen a jeep with a 42 before, i think ive seen one 50 in a pic a while ago. Thanks!!

Yea, it really depends on what kinda wheeling ya do. I went for the shorty for a couple reasons. I think it looks better, and how here we have BIG rocks, so I figured the less bumper to get hung up on, the better

ToysByTroy (.com) is a local shop here in Phoenix, and he does an AWESOME front bumper! They make a shorty with a radiator hoop, and a stinger with supports! It's kinda pricey, but it's fantastic! You can get it with the stinger (Pre-runner), radiator hoop, light bars, anything! You can get it for tube fenders, or stock fender protectors. And I know a lot of people have great experiences! Stu Olson has great things to say, and my $.02: when I went to the shop, the customer service was great and informative, and you can't beat their work! Check out the pretty penny it saved Stu! You can customize it for your application, and it's insanely strong! That's my next front bumper! Until then, it's the ARB car accident bumper...

Your kilby looks awesome, is it the 50in or 42in? Also, what size d-rings do you need for that bumper? Thanks!!

I tried ordering that Bestop rear bumper, but it was on back-order until god knows when. I ended up with the Warn rear bumper and I'm happy with it

I too am curious about the Highrock rear bumber. It seems like you could kill two birds with one stone. You would have a really capable rock bumper, and still have the ability to tow with it also  rather than going with a seperate tow set-up BELOW your rock bumper
