Default Opinions of MORE bumpers?

Just curious as to your opinions on the MORE bumper and the matching rear bumper with tire carrier? Having some trouble finding reviews on them. It seems like they are selling them with optional powdercoat now, is that right? Pics anyone? Thanks.

I just might go with the MORE bumper....was originally thinking of going with the Rugged Ridge XHD but.... Which is my better choice? I really don't mind paying more money for a quality product.

Anyone know if it would fit an XRC8 winch or maybe the Rugged Ridge 8500 winch? I don't know what "foot down style mounting" winch even means.

Just noticed something... The MORE rear bumper doesn't have the tow rings...something I really liked about the Rugged Ridge XHD. The tow rings/shackles make it look so much more sexy.

The Body Armor bumpers look great and are more reasonably priced.

I actually really like the way this bumper looks....

But being that it is such a nice looking bumper for so cheap, I don't know what to expect for quality-wise. Can't seem to find really any reviews on this bumper. I know the saying " You get what you pay for." That has me leary.

Look closely. There are sturdy welded on eyelets for tow rings. You just have to add them.

I'm seriously considering the front and rear with tire carrier. I may buy the front first and get the rear if I really like it. I think I'll call Northridge and see what they say about them.

The M.O.R.E front bumper is shown in the bumper comparison thread.

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ht=more+bumper

It's a different shot with the D-rings installed.

Thanks for the info! I'll feel better about my purchase knowing that you like your bumper.

I always buy USA made when possible, and HATE to buy anything Chinese made. I recently bought Pro Comp steel wheels to avoid buying Chinese made alloy wheels (try to find any that are not, your choices are slim), not because they were my first choice. We will soon the USA, a Republic of China, unless we speak out and change our buying habits.
