Suggestions for a reasonable aftermarket front bumper?

Maybe something like this... but I really don't need the brush guard, and I have no idea how heavy this world be. I think it is TJM.
Mike I know you have written on bumpers before and it is all a jumble to me now, but I really just want something that is not gaudy or heavy. I don't need a winch.

TJM all the way!! I just bought mine. Super easy to deal with. I'm in California so I was able to get it directly from the manufacturer. They are out of Australia like ARB been around some 40 years. Only 2 in the US. The quality is top notch. See photos below.
What i like about it is that it sits super flush to the car. It doesn't stick out as much as the ARB. Also it is made to fit 99+

So far i really like the TJM. If you want to use a winch it gets a little complicated. You need to buy and install a winch plate also sold by TJM. I also bought a TJM 9000lb synthetic winch. The tricky part is that there isnt any place to install the control box. The included bracket is bogus and doesnt work in any configuration i could find. I am improvising a spot now and will let you know how it goes. Also you will need to cut out a pre-marked section of the bumper to accomidate the winch. Can be tough because its thick metal. I had a friend who owns a body shop do it for me. Bonus was he then polished and painted the cut edge.
