Cool, Four Wheeler magazine used that bumper on one of their builds of a 2 door JK. Worked real well. E.O. makes great products.

I like it. Am thinking of getting the same thing. As Kojack said, I saw it in JP magazine also. Did you order it direct from Expedition One, or another vendor?

I like how the winch mounts in behind the bumper.

I ordered directly from Expedition One. No complaints with my experience.

I love it! I like the minimalist look and the light weight. I ordered a smittybilt XRC 9,5000 winch. I hope it fits. My only complaint is the vacuum pump relocation bracket for 2012 and up JK's. It basically keeps the pump in the same location but turns it inward toward the engine bay. If I could go back I would have opted out of the expedition one bracket and purchased a bracket that relocates the vacuum pump under the hood.

Plenty of room for the winch. I'm thinking of changing the hawse fair lead with a black one. Not sure yet. Click image for larger version
