I reached out to the seller to ask whether or not he offered a skid to go with this or if the OEM skid would work in tandem with the bumper. He did get back to me to indicate that he did not have a skid to pair with this. He "Thought" the OEM would work but could not confirm as they did no test fits.

I guess if you are ok with the sensor holes and a *maybe for the OEM skid it IS an option that provides good savings. That said, protecting my steering components is important in my decision, so Im gonna pass on this~

Very interested. I would just fill the holes with dummy sensors or something if people here say quality is good.
I have definitely seen someone on this forum with the bumper because someone asked why there were holes in the crash cans also

Also -forum members filled sensor holes in rear steel bumpers with plugs from Lowe’s if I remember correctly.

This is absurd, that Maxiums-3 tow loop is $150 alone, and LED fog lights, and bull bar, and fog lights. This set can cost easily $1,500 if you get all original.

This is why we loose in 2020, Chinese can make all these and ship for $425, and still make decent profit after eBay fee.

Mopar makes the OEM steel bumpers in China, and I wouldn’t be surprised these are the real thing but they just “fell off the trucks” or the factory runs extra batches for side profit etc. this is a very common occurrence over there.
