That's a really good looking setup. I like it more when I see it in real life!

Line X and the can Duplicolor Bedliner are two different coatings. The Line X is a professional spray coating that is SUPER tough. The Duplicolor is a bedliner in a can and is not as tough. Ive used both and I would never use the Duplicolor again. The Duplicolor is ok for the interior but on the exterior it chips. It is just not my cup of tea. 
If you are going to seriously offroad your jeep the Duplicolor would be great because you can touch it up when you scrape it on rocks or trees. I have my grill and both bumpers sprayed in Line X. I had both bumpers on my 73 bronco sprayed too. Line X will look brand new for a long time if you keep a good protectant on it. I had the bumper sprayed in Rhino but the Rhino looks too rubbery and the texture stinks.
I had my bumpers sprayed for about $150 each and the grille was about the same.

So I have seen these on ebay. They are from RAM products. I don't like their design/lines as much as some of the other bumpers, but if you are looking for a fairly heavy duty cheap steel bumper this might fit the bill. There is this version, and a winch mount version that I will post shortly.
Ram "Rock Crusher Front Bumper"
Fog Light Tabs
Holes for factory fog lights
Laser cut metal sheet
"Installation takes 20 minutes"
120 lbs
And the winch mount version...
After some searching I am unable to find a direct company website showing off these products. I found them on ebay in a seller's ebay store. If you search "JEEP JK BUMPER" you will usually find this line.
I am reluctant to post the direct link...against the thread rulz.
