Default olympic defender rear bumper.

Does anyone have this or has anyone seen this? worth $177?

I know it is not much but I don't wheel that hard to need a bullet proof bumper.

and if you don't, what do you think????

I haven't seen the defender, but the Olympic Rock bumper is what I have. Simple and I only paid about $249 for the bumper. It is pretty solid and not bad looking IMO.

you are right, but sometimes the stinky one may have a valid point or could add some kind of value, agreeable or not....

as far as the ugly rear, I was think of blacking that out. Food for thought, a lot of manufactures are doing that with many body panels, example, pinch weld seams. and on white, does not look too bad.....IMO
thanks

I run the defender and it shows the frame a lot but I didn't think this was a fasion contest. I am going to use bed liner on my sheet metal at frame level so once it is all black it wont be as noticeable. Main reason is for protection not looks.

that can be cleaned up with some bedliner
