Yes. It’s the mopar metal skid and it’s the mopar winch guard that is removable

I can't speak to the front tow hooks from Maximus-3 , but if they are like the rear they are stout. I had the rears on my JKU and took several solid hits. Powder coat coming off was minimal as well. I was thinking of getting them for the JLUR when it comes and also looking at adding Rusty's rear fascia cover kit. I can't imagine the front tow hooks would be any less beefy than the rear ones.FWIW: The Maximus-3 rear tow loops could add some protection to the OEM rear steel bumper. It wouldn't work in all scenarios, but it is at least something.
Any idea if the Rusty's fascia kit will fit under the OEM steel bumper?I can't speak to the front tow hooks from Maximus-3 , but if they are like the rear they are stout.

Not sure yet. Probably going to have to measure and/or do more research to see if anyone has done this before. Seems like if it will work would be a great idea.Any idea if the Rusty's fascia kit will fit under the OEM steel bumper?
I did some research on the Maximus-3 products:
JK rear = 1/2"
JK tow loop front = 5/8"
JL rear = 1/2"
JL D-ring front = 1/2"
JL tow loop front = 5/8"
Looks great. Did you paint the tow hooks? I’m going for the same style (I’ve decided on ordering those Mopar wheels too).I have this bumper. I think it looks a lot nicer with the mopar lift and wheels and 35" tires than it does with the stock stuff. I really tried to go with a more subdued aesthetic with my jeep. Very much trying to avoid urban assault style.

How did you find that deal?I have it. Picked up from a guy with the skid and winch plate for 700. Too good of a deal to pass up. It’s more of a mid-width and the only plastic on it is the crush can covers. Definitely more solid.Got to get a winch in there.
You did well on that oneI had been watching for the regular rubicon steel bumper on marketplace and Craigslist for a couple months. A guy in Atlanta with a new gladiator that the dealer had put it on when he bought it. He decided he wanted Fab4 bumpers on front and rear so took it off. He had it all listed for $750 and took the $700. Well worth the 3.5 hour drive there.
I used the red hooks and the LED fogs off my plastic bumper on it. Took some modifying to make the LEDs for the plastic bumper to work. Now that I have it, I like it more than the rubicon factory steel bumper. It’s more solid, mid-width, and only plastic on it are the too big crush can covers.
I just picked up a rear steel bumper off a ‘21 for $50..... Nice guy wanting to clear out his garage. I’m going to run it for awhile until I get a bumper with tire carrier.
Keep searching for deals
My only concern was that there didn't seem to be anywhere in the center to mount lights, but your pic seems to show different. What kind of mount is holding your license plate and how is it mounted?
Do you know if it fits the LED fog lights?I have this bumper. I think it looks a lot nicer with the mopar lift and wheels and 35" tires than it does with the stock stuff. I really tried to go with a more subdued aesthetic with my jeep. Very much trying to avoid urban assault style.
