I have had mine on for the last month or so. I got this front bumper and the quality is excellent and it bolts right on perfectly and super fast and easy to boot.
I really would love to move the front bumper 3~5inches closer to the front Grill. I want it to be as close as possible to the Grill and since I will not run a winch I think Its doable.
Im actually eventually going 35in tires and stock suspension. So, I needed a stubby bumper. I also wanted to keep the Jeep weight as light as possible and this 40lbs bumper is a perfect fit. My rear bumper is EVO D-shackles and thats it. Only thing heavy on my Jeep is the PureJeep.com rockrails with step. They are 110lbs for a set.

Back Bumper
Here is another shot of the rear. To install this correctly on my wrangler I had to fab a 1/2" spacer plate to go between the bumper mount and the crossmember. with the spacer it bolt up perfect, without it it comes up tight against the body pan before touching the the frame crossmember.

Im debating between this bumper with the winch mount or this one Bestop 42933-01 - HighRock 4x4™ Narrow Front Bumper for 07-12 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec Also looking at this winch mount thats $80 do you think its hard to make yourself?
I figure this bumper is actually 270 compared to the other one which is 260 with the winch mount already.

Pavement Ends Bumpers
I installed my Pavement Ends rear bumper today.They come with a semi gloss powder coat.I sanded it down with 150 grit and cleaned it with acetone.Then I gave it 3-4 coats of Duplicolor spray on Bed Armor.This stuff is great.Looks just like the original bumpers and fenders.The holes on the left mounting bracket were about 3/4" out.Other than that all went well.I had to loosen the muffler to get the 2 bolts in the middle in.Perfect fit.Everything lines up great.A very stout bumper and looks great if I do say so myself.A great bumper for $201!
