I had one on mine and just didn't like it that much. The problem is that I already had a whole in my body, so there wasn't much to do about it except cover it up with some armor. The reason I didn't like it is because on sharp drop offs I would hang it and cause problems. The upside is that that thing is really sturdy and made well, but a serious pain in the butt to install.

I thought install was a blast took me five hours by myself. I have zero complaints about mine!

Wow, took me about 7 hours to do it but I hated every bit of it. Especially trying to mount the passenger side bracket. I changed mine out for the Rock Hard Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier.

I was having a bad day at work. I took all my frustration out on the jeep and tire carrier. Would have had it done sooner but I had to mount my rockhard license plate and re route my cb cable. I had studied the instructions and a write up many times.
