Fair enough, I guess... to replace those euro-style Sport bumpers?
It's a different style bumper. I think people may think the Sahara/Rubicon bumper is better looking. I'm still undecided.

The steel ones are definitely better looking to me, I'm not a fan of the plastic ones

Right. But the plastic Sahara/Rubicon bumper is a different part than the plastic Sport bumper. I would think to someone putting on steel bumpers they both look pretty much like crappy plastic bumpers but there is a difference.

They also fit JKs I believe.

The Euro piece can be easily removed:

I like the steel bumper on the Rubi and hope to find a takeoff and remove the end caps. Stubby is definitely a more aggressive look.

Nice! Is that the $900 one? Any discounts/coupons available?
No discounts or coupons that I found. I read on their Facebook the price might be going up. It’s worth every penny. I just took the top on and off like 15 times (we were trying to figure something out lol, the top bolts on the top lift pro needed to be tightened more and my issue was fixed). It is so so easy. The hardest part is putting it back on and making sure you gently drop it down which isn’t really even that hard, I’m not an especially strong woman.

I love the more aggressive look (had a stubby on my JKU) - and if you are watching weight - I hear each end cap weighs almost 9lbs.

Nice work. Have you used it yet? If so, is it as good as advertised? I put mine together a few weeks ago and now waiting for the Jeep to arrive.
Super easy and totally worth it!! Takes about 5 mins once you remove the bolts.

Installed my winch finally! The manual says to wrap it with at least 1000lbs of pressure. Not sure how the hell i'm supposed to do that.

I attached the winch hook to our forklift, and spooled the rope in with the Jeep in Neutral and the parking brake slightly on.
