Whoa, my first scratch is from the OEM bumper itself rubbing against the body. No I have not rock crawled or hit it on anything, it was either pushed in during transport? But more likely installed wrong or malformed altogether imo. Check your gaps at the corners, it’s pretty bad. Bigger gap on right side.

This most likely explains the mysterious noise at speed on bad washboard heard from the left rear corner. Doesn’t flex and rub until those moments

Also experienced this with the factory plastic bumper. It’s about a month old since I purchased and has only been on a few dirt roads. I think Jeep should address this. @JeepCares is this something the warranty would address?

Pretty bad - did you get larger tires put on? Curious if your spare is touching your bumper.
