Yes, that is the Metalcloak front bumper. I have no regrets with the purchase.

Looks great!! I've gotta find a take off Rubi suspension.Sting gray Progression. Started with a stock Sport S. Swapped the tires for take off Rubi 33 KO2s. I also swapped the suspension from a Rubi with a hardtop and added 3/4 inch Daystar spacers to net a total of 2.5 inches on the lift. I think she turned out pretty well.
Hit the trail as soon as I finished installing the suspension.
Wouldn't it have been easier to buy a Rubicon and put on a Wiilys sticker?Looks great!! I've gotta find a take off Rubi suspension.
It's the leading contender right now. Just waiting for it to go on sale. I may PM you for more info.Yes, that is the Metalcloak front bumper. I have no regrets with the purchase.

Do you have the rear too?Feel free to PM me. I can't say anything bad about anything from Metalcloak.
If you’re just going for appearance that works. That said there is far more to a Rubicon than how it looks. Obviously price point for you overrides other considerations...+ I bought the Sport S with the technology package and cold weather package. - $31,000
- (less than 6,000 miles on it)
+ Take off Rubicon Wheels and Tires - $1100 (less than 500 miles on them)
+ Take off Rubicon Suspension - $188 (less than 50 miles on them)
Total cost with Rubicon upgrades = $32,280
Average 2019 Rubicon cost under 10k miles = $42,000-44,000.
TOTAL SAVINGS = $9,720-11,700
Yeah maybe easier to buy if you have the money, but if I'm saving $9,720 on the low end for poking around on craigslist and then installing the parts myself, I'm taking that deal 10 out of 10 times.
Not everyone needs a Rubicon.If you’re just going for appearance that works. That said there is far more to a Rubicon than how it looks. Obviously price point for you overrides other considerations...
