Default Bumper Unknown.... need help

Hello All

I was looking the web over the weekend and found this picture. Can anyone tell me who makes this bumper and give me any "pros" and "cons".

I was going with the AEV but now that I've seen this one - I might have to think it over.

Thanks in advance.

Rock-Slide Engineering. I know someone who is running their rocker gaurds they seem well built, I have not seen their bumpers in person yet.

Hello All

I spoke with Steve at R-S Eng today, as you can see they weigh 120 - 4 lbs more than the AEV. The light openings are 5 inches and they sell a light kit that wires right into the existing harness and uses the current JK fog light switch.

The AEV is priced $1318 plus shipping. - The R-S bumper sells for $1199 plus about 150 to ship. The installation is down and dirty - installs in about an hour.

Bumper comes powdered coated. And the bull bar has a light kit that lights up the winch area for night use.

Bottom line is I have made my decision...
