I love mine. I went with the V2 crawler end caps (had to wait forever for the end caps though). Love the versatility. Had a few problems. First set of end caps had absolutely no packaging and they were scratched up from banging against each other in shipping. Replacement set was fine. The threads on the bumper that the front plates screw into were powder coated. Basically had to re-tap the threads. I guess this would prevent any corrosion on the threads if you just use it as a stubby. Overall I like the bumper.

Do you have any pics of yours? I'm interested in the full length with bull bar.

I've got the full width endcaps with fogs on mine. I haven't had any issues with the bumper. The foglights on the other hand have been giving me a headache. I've only had them installed since June and I've already had 2 go out on me. They don't seem to deal with moisture very well at all. I've been lucky enough to get a couple replacements from a buddy who has the same bumper. His brackets for the foglights kept snapping, and Smittybilt would send him a new set of lights. Sounds like their warranty is useful. Here's a few pics.Click image for larger version

Do the lights come with it? I am seriously thinking about buying this right now. If the lights do come with it, have you had any issues with them?

Lights do not come with the V2 Crawler end caps. There was some confusion early on by suppliers and the one I bought mine from listed the fogs as included. They ended up providing me with stock style OMIX/ADA fogs but have corrected their website now. The end caps are made to accept the OE fog lights.
