Post Anyone had any experience with this bumper yet?

Did a search and didn't see much about this bumper, I think it may be new. It looks pretty solid and simple. A bumper with a tire carrier for under $500? Besides the eBay junk, that's unheard of. Anyone running one of these, or have any experience with it? I may order it when I get back from this deployment.

The locking pin looks like it would rattle and be fairly noisy but if it had the right rubber stoppers it'd probably be fine.

no shackles and you have to reuse the factory hit. get on the one off ebay for $30 more and it comes with a hitch, shackle tabs and shackles, seems like a better buy

Made in USA is great, but I will be looking for something that opens with the tailgate.

Every one of the units I have seen with an independent pin or lock is a PITA especially when it gets older and gets grime and grit in it.

Like this maybe?
We launched this last week, I don't sell direct so I haven't seen a price point on this yet.

It is a real nice bumper. Very smooth to operate.
