Default Bumper latch

Anybody know what kind of bumper this is? It was on my Jeep when I bought it the latch doesn't stay tight anymore. I would like to figure out which company made it so I can replace it or any ideas on a do-it-yourself job. I have to keep that trailer pin in it to keep it closed

Looks to be the same as the latch on my Shrockworks.

I had to replace mine, long dumb story, my fault not theirs, and they sent me a new one out quickly. It cost about $85, though. Again my original getting messed up was all on me, not their fault.

I feel like it has to be available through someone else though if two different manufacturers are using it.

Not the best pic, but all I have at the moment.

I have that bumper. There are/have been known problems with the latch. Some people have had the latch come undone while on the road. Not a good experience I would imagine. I have modified mine by getting it perfectly in line and then welded it. I also had to add a little bead of weld on the end of the latch to make it tighter when closed. If you know someone that is handy and can weld I would suggest to have them look at it and get it dialed in.
