I would not get aluminum for a few reasons;
-Cost way more
-Harder to keep looking good
-Breaks or cracks more than it bends
-Expensive to repair if need be
-Weaker (requires extra bracing for winch, steel does not)
-I do not like the look

Aluminum bumpers are for looks only ( Dont correct me) You have to Reinforce them alot and that is taking a huge risk, 90% if not all aluminum bumpers have a tag on them that say do not use with a winch.

I saw the TJM needs a winch cradle.
Just saw a good deal on one....
