Re: 2013 Rubicon - bumper, winch, light suggestions

The guys at National 4wd are great... Ok prices... And some stock... Convienient if you don't want to go through Toronto to get parts...

As for lights... the Delta Sky Bar... Sexy... And low Profile... Pay the extra and get the brighter lights!

JTP - Thanks for the suggestion - funny enough I had been taking pics of Jeeps which I liked parked in lots on the side of the road - problem was the owner wasn't there to discuss. Jeep Club is a great idea.

MUDEATER - that's a slick light bar. For me the money is probably better put into other stuff - if I get stuck for 30-60 mins first thing in the morning it means I miss first light in the duck blind or similar - probably better to sink the dollar of 'normal' extra lights versus Delta Skybar and use the change to get better tires, etc.

Thanks all for the help, there's a few ideas in there to work on.....

Bumper is really about getting something which is a bit more sturdy plus a good mount for lights and winch – can’t see myself upgrading to larger tires so standard width bumper is fine.

Not looking to create the mother of all off-roaders since I already spend enough on hunting gear and kids and I won’t be doing any rock crawling, Rubicon Trail type off-roading – just driving in the pitch black through woods, fields, and some marsh.

New to the Jeep thing so any help steering me in the right direction for a bumper, winch, light setup geared for the above is greatly appreciated. Also, any suggestions as to a reliable shop for the purchase and install in the GTA is also appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

GRAARG,

Have you checked out Mopar's selection for your accessories?
Go to the Mopar Performance catalog link below, you'll find alot of genuine Mopar parts and accessories for your JK and your local dealer will be able to install them.
