I just installed this the other day. JCR Offroad Mid width. I still need to wire the lights and add a winch. I love it so far. And rock solid.

I went with the Rockhard aluminum mid-width. Its bolt through so I can flat tow the Jeep and its Made In USA. Great customer service and simple install.

I bought the same mid rockhard bumper. I'm installing it now. Did anyone that bought this have halogen lights? It says it requires a light modification kit that is included for halogen lights. They would seem to fit without modification and I can't see anything that looks like a modification kit. The directions aren't clear - just use a kit. And there's one image that doesn't really show what's going on.

Curious if anyone that has halogen lights can help answer this for me.

They told me about 2.5 weeks from order to delivery, which was pretty accurate.

I went ahead and installed without any type of modification, seems to work fine. If anyone ends up doing something else for their halogen lights please let me know.

I emailed them, and it wasn't very helpful. I had told them I had the instructions, I couldn't determine what the modification kit was supposed to be, and the directions/single picture wasn't too helpful. They replied with, "here are the instructions, you should use the modification kit, there's a picture, it's pretty self explanatory." I'm guessing they would be more helpful if I pushed more, but since it installed without issue, it's OK.

@MtCamper and @Deezflops ,

Do either of you have photos of the RockHard aluminum mid with bumpers installed in your rigs? I’m leaning heavily toward that one and would love to see as many pics of it as possible. Any rants or raves so far? Thanks!

Here are some pictures - with bugs all over it from this weekend. I ended up liking it more in person than the pictures online. It's just what I wanted. My only complaint is the poor instructions, particularly around the halogen light kit. But definitely happy overall.

Very nice, did you go steel or aluminum?

Thanks! I’ve been looking at everything that comes out but I still keep thinking that this is the one for me.
Yeah, I lucked out with liking the one that is able to be flat towed. I didn't want anything over-the-top aggressive looking.

It's the aluminum one. I didn't weigh the original bumper, but they didn't feel very different in weight from each other.

Thanks, that is what I’m hoping. Will be adding a winch, so I’ll be looking to level.

I ordered from NorthRidge on 7/2/18, was promised 7 to 10 days. Still waiting, just received notice the are prepping to ship. Can’t stand liars. Should have just said, that it would take 4 weeks. BTW, I was told on 7/10 that they were shipping on 7/13.
