I think it looks good in a plastic fender sort of way. I still like the factory Mopar steel better. Waiting on the AEV bumper.

I think I read that it’s stamped steel. So no.

:like: It's a "JEEP THING". Glad you are into it. For me it's a :no:, I'm not a fan. 14 piece's for one bumper? Too many bolts and overlapping joins where rust will forum. I much prefer one piece of welded aluminum. Bumpers shouldn't be a collage of pieces IMO. Aluminum saves weight and rust.
Good point. Do not mind the multiple pieces so much but the aluminum would be nice. Anyone making a good aluminum bumper?

Thank you! Being new to the the build part of Jeeps I was getting frustrated with what I thought was the dregs of the slag bowl plopped onto a slab to be modeled somewhat, thrown on the front of a Jeep and thought it looked good.
I'm looking for a bad ass looking stubby or mid bumper that doesn't have a winch hole in the bumper. I do not need a winch any longer and it seems every bumper has the Big Hole in the middle to mount a winch. Any suggestions out there? I don't care what it costs.
This looks great!

I like this bumper a lot. Just not sure what I would do with my front license plate if I bought it. Don't like leaving it on the dashboard.

That looks awesome- you feel good with the quality?
Yeah, quality seems good. The only real issue I had was on one of the plates for the tow hook, the welds were not ground down flush and I wasn't able to install it until I ground them down and repainted.
Looks fresh! Which part was a pain to install?
It comes in multiple sections with a bunch of bolts, washers and nuts. To reuse your OEM lighting, you have to disassemble your existing bumper to take out the wiring harness. None of it is hard, just time consuming. Oh and the box didn't have any instructions in it.
