I want to wheel with this guy. The obstacles aren't hard enough, so he does it backwards.

The new Rugged Ridge rear bumper looks better.

I kind of like that RR bumper. It sort of has the retro bumperettes feel to it, but looks better. My only complaint is no tow hitch. You could keep the stock hitch, but it would look like ass and the departure angle sucks with that thing.

I wonder how the inside portion of that bumper attaches to the frame. I'm assuming it's two pieces.

Body lift?

If so, it might look better without it.

edit: plus they need to be pushed out to the sides more. Between that, the gap and the spare, everything just looks out of proportion.

Those are cool, but I'm really digging the EVO D-ring Brackets when I go bumperless.
