It does it's job for the price you pay.
The tabs that hold the swingout on were bent during shipping requiring me to hammer them out and the bushing sleeve was factory mis-aligned requiring me to drill out the tab a little bit to make the closing pin fit.....other than that I think it is a great product for the price. It looks very nice when you get it out of the box. Very easy to install.

interesting it has no "corner" protection like another bumper that was shown on here not to long ago, I await the bashing of the bumper to ensue 
hey Vince there was another member on here that mounted the corners of his stock bumper onto that, it looked really good, I'll find the pic if you want

Installed my new Centerforce clutch
Finally got my new centerforce clutch installed and buttoned the transmission and exhaust back up. If you really want to have some fun, let someone else take your transmission out, then give you a box of bolts to put it all back together.... Ok I think that goes there... 
But all 3 days were worth it since she is now rolling again. 
Oh and btw, after an up-close look at the transmission, the bottom and top of the bellhousing is completely open to vent.... water and mud will get right in there, regardless of whether you clutch or not (my culprit was about 5 lbs of mud though....)

Thats so true, butIf you operate the clutch, just one time when deep in mud !!!
It will penetrate, between the clutch disc and flywheel/pressure plate and permeate-ruin the disc
Never use the clutch till you're way out of mud, or
---Don't go deep in mud !!

I think it might be the Rugged Ridge plate holder. I have one. I got it from Quadratec http://www.quadratec.com/products/12107_0911.htm
The license plate holder is from advance auto and was like 6 bucks.
used 4 d-cell maglite holders
used a license plate cover on the outside.
I will post some pics as soon as my camera charges up
