Default Front bumper

I am looking for a replacement front bumper, what suggestions do you have? Currently have factory cover and fog lights. My son tore mine apart, so trying not to get expensive on him since he is trying to pay for this.......
I don't have a winch, nor do I have plans for one. Looks like there are several options out there. The factory cover seems to be more expensive then a metal off-road type. Any suggestions and pictures? Thanks

Cheapest is to pull one off of a junkyard Disco.

Next-cheapest is to weld brackets onto new $150 Jeep Wrangler aftermarket bumpers to make them fit.

I bought a Shadow HD driving bumper, which I consider the best looking Discovery 2 bumper out there. They're a little pricey because they have to come from England, but they're not more expensive than the stock bumper. Mine has a winch, but they're available without.

These are all great ideas. Wife likes the hoops around the headlights. The ARB one is somewhat what we are looking at, just seems pretty heavy at 150lbs. Currently have a factory brush guard the left factory driving lamp was broken in this. The ARB seems kinda overkill, but has both.

Jason, how far does the Shadow bumper stick out in front of the grille? I have a pair of round off-road lights that need to go there. This one is really appealing, thanks for the suggestion!

The non-winch bumper barely sticks out at all, maybe 2 inches. If you need to mount something, get the winch bumper; it's basically the same price.

For reference, here's mine:




If you don't want the winch, you can bolt a painted steel plate on top of it and use it to mount the lights.
