I'm going to be ordering my first Jeep Rubicon Unlimited later this year. I live in Western New York where unfortunately, we do not have many trails and/or land available to off-road on. What we do have is a lot of snow at times during the winter, which essentially makes it's own off-road experience.
I like the look and flexibility of the steel bumper, but I do have concerns with rust because salt is used heavily here, and honestly, don't know how often I'll find myself in a position to take the ends off and enjoy a day of off-road fun.
Does anyone know why Jeep didn't use aluminum for the bumpers? Also, because the total cost of adding the steel bumpers is $2100, in most experienced Jeep owners opinions, will I find value in adding the steel bumper option?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
