Bumpers are a personal taste, but as far as the winch goes, I would take that money and buy a Warn winch. They have been market leaders forever, and for good reason. Dont want your winch failing when you need it.
This is a great winch. I have one on the front of my JKU Rubicon. It currently has a $75 mail in rebate as well, so if you order online with no tax, it costs less than the smittybilt
Here is the rebate form.
Thoughts on the 8000lb Warn vs the 10000lb smitty?

I read somewhere that I should go for 10k. Is 8k enough? I'm thinking it'll be pulling me out of mud, and other cars out of snow.
