they do look like they are just powder coated where as the others are actually chromed, I'm also guessing it depends on how bad you beat up your rig, and how often you actually pull them off.

Will your winch be in the bumper? or will the light be moved once a winch is top mounted?

The light will be moved once I install
my Top Mount Winch Case.

I've been testing the Insul-Liner noise and heat reduction panels on the inside of my Jeep JK for just over a month now, and I'm really impressed with the quality and performance they offer.
Here's a link to the full review on the front page. [link]

Very nice looking. Also pretty cool that they easily remove for cleaning.
It would be great to do a direct comparison between the major brands for temperature & noise reduction.

That would certainly be cool to do, it would just take a while to properly do it. I like to give products a minimum of 30 days of use before I write about them. Especially with stuff like this where the longevity of the adhesive tape is the name of the game. But that's just me and how I do things...
Great color! I am slowly building up my Billet JKUR as well. I bought a 2013 about this time last year. 4.10 and auto. (My first auto trans). I specifically ordered it with minimal options because I could not find one that wasn't loaded at the dealerships. (And I have a lot to choose from down here).
So far I have added an AEV front bumper, Hotheads headliner, Ace rock rails (primarily as a step for the kids).....and an Adventure Trailer Horizon. LOL. The trailer set me back a bit on other Jeep mods. As my jeep is sort of a daily driver, I decided to get the trailer to avoid a few other mods (for a while anyway) like a roof rack and a mild lift (to handle more weight). I probably will still do a mild lift to avoid some of the sag from the trailer and other gear.
I totally get it about wanting a newer vehicle. I had a '73 Bronco with a 351W when I lived in Mammoth in the 1990s. Perfect truck for that area but I was always working on that thing. Converted it to disc brakes and built a new exhaust, etc. it was lots of fun, but in those days I didn't have the money to do the things I really wanted to do to it. Plus it was pretty uncomfortable on long drives, and always smelled like grease and oil. It had 4.11 gears and 3 speed manual so it was winding out at 65mph. Got about 9 mpg on a good day.
I used to live in Grover Beach (Santa Barbara before that) and love it on the Central Coast. I miss it so much in SLO County! Shell Beach is awesome! If you haven't tried the "Filete de Manzo" at Giuseppe's in Pismo yet, you have got to do that ASAP. You are walking distance!
Here's a shot from Anza Borrego this Spring. Had the Jeep up to Monache Meadows last summer and also up to Lassen County. So comfortable on long drives. It's as capable as the Bronco (if not more so), plus the wife actually enjoys driving it.
