This bumper seems like a great deal. well made too, even if it is a knock off. I am about to pull the trigger on a rugged ridge arcus, as I want a light steel bumper. But man this seems like a better deal, and they are both made in china so same sh!t anyway.

Seems like most in this thread are happy with the value, quality proposition. I'll probably bite on the front bumper once it's back in stock.

The ones purchasing this steel bumper, you buying the rear also or leaving the plastic bumper? How does the steel front match up with rear plastic if so?

you just replacing front and leaving rear plastic bumper? I’m assuming it’ll look ok from side view having 2 different materials ?
I don't think it will be noticeable. There's so little of the back bumper exposed on the side. Plus, from the back, you barely see because of the spare. I'm not overly concerned. Others who have done the front upgrade may have first hand experience.

Did anyone have install instructions? I’m finally getting around to removing my stock plastic off the JLUS, and swore I saw an install thread link somewhere. Went through every post and can’t find it now.

I didn’t get any. Just a parts list in Chinese that I and others used google translate to try to figure out what each item was. Then I just winged it.

It doesn't come with any but, for the most part, installation is very straight forward. I watched this video but really it was pretty self explanatory...
