Bumper
I was recently up at Burnsville Off Road and they had one of these in the shop. This is an awesome bumper. Build quality is first rate and the weight is not much more than any other "quality" replacement bumper.

It's the only one I know that is all aluminum with a hoop. I just wish it wasn't a stubby and went out to the fenders.

The bumper looks great but I would love to see these companies make them a little wider to match the fender flares.

Steve told me that they were having site problems, maybe this would be a great time to see if their giving them away for nothing more than the cost of shiping.

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...
