Hoping someone can shed some light. I have a 22 Sahara that I want to swap the bumper over to the Rubicon style steel bumper. This, together with the skid plate is $1500+ on Quadratec. However, on ebay there's a parts dealer from China (with a warehouse in California, supposedly) selling the bumpers for about $400 and the skidplate for around $150. This is less than people are selling pull-offs on Facebook locally

They've sold 100+ of these according to the listing, but does anyone know the catch? I'm guessing these aren't going to be labled as Mopar parts, and not in a Mopar box. Are they going to be junk? Should I just risk it and get my money back from ebay if it's garbage?

They're usually aluminum and the workmanship isn't the same quality around the cuts and welds.

I've bought 3 of them for 3 different JL's from Amazon. Different sellers, same bumper. All steel and surprisingly good quality. Comes with LED fogs, winch plate, and bull bar. This is the last one I bought BTW, I'm betting the "factory" steel bumper is built in the same country this one is.

Thanks, after reading the other thread linked earlier here, I pounced on the one from ebay. Really think these are being stamped out of the same plant the Mopar ones are
