Caught the Bug
About a month ago swapped out my full width steel front bumper for a GenRight carbon fiber stubby.
Install was straightforward as long as you don't mind cutting metal. As usual, GenRight instructions usually leave you with questions, but fortunately they have a YouTube video on how to install one of their front bumpers. The video was much more helpful than their written instructions. Took me just over two hours to install.
As far as trail experience with the carbon fiber bumper. It suits my style of driving well. I hit several ledges at slow speed and it held up well with minimal scratching and it didn't break. For my twice a year trip to Moab it will hold up well for years to come and I lost 100 pounds off the front of my rig. Could actually feel it was lighter when going over speed bumps. Winch now sits about an inch lower than when it was in my AEV front bumper.
I would not recommend this bumper for anyone who plays in the rocks a lot. If I had this bumper on when I ran the rubicon last year it would be in pieces now. I will not be installing the carbon fiber rear bumper since I tend to drag my rear bumper often and that's a lot of money to waste.
