Was a nice treat to see, especially given that I have a Billet Silver Rubicon

The Bilstein 5100's looked tiny on it. Bummed to learn the JL rear bumper will not have the water storage option the JK did. Overall it looked great. Not a big fan of the bull bar on the front bumper, but the bumper itself looks great.

I wonder what it'll cost to replace that nifty AEV eyebrow when the windshield gets a crack after driving it home.

I dig the front bumper. It looks stock but not. I wonder if they'll offer it without the bar.

Looks like they were inspired by the Mopar steel bumper... looks like it has end-cap like things too just like the Mopar one. Edit... yes it has pointy cat eye glasses end caps:

What bothers me just as much is in the front view photo, it looks like it's tilting down... like a heavy lower lip or something

Doesn't look like there is a lot of air going in through that grill.... totally blocks it ...specially that square'd off bar/giant set of second headlights! I would think that might be an issue for engine air flow. I like their products tho.

Am seriously considering this to replace my Mopar steel front. Only thing I dislike is the hoop( to bad there aren’t options for that). The rear bumper is very cool. Is it unusual to mix and match a front and rear?

Mix and match as in put a front bumper on the rear and a rear bumper in the front? J/K.

Mix and match all you want. Not sure anyone would find that a problem.

I'm just laughing my ass off at the "Montana, USA" sticker. I drive by their home office facilities (at least I did before I went full "working from home" mode) to and from work every day......in southeast Michigan. Company might have bee founded in Montana, but it hasn't been there forever. Wixom, MI.

The bull bar is too massive and too close to the grille just looks out of proportion. A light impact would push it into the grille.

The Mopar steel bumper was originally designed by AEV, I believe.

I have never understood the hype that this company gets. Overpriced and not even that good. Some fool will but this though. I built my rubicon for about $20k less and it’s far more capable and much better looking.

But, but - your location is listed as Arizona! ;)
