Default Poison spider

I need reviews from all of you that are running the RockBrawler rear bumper and the Brawler Lite Front Bumper with Brawler Bar.
Are they worth the money?
How difficult were they to install?
Thanks, if you have actual pictures please post them.

Brawler Lite front with bar. Quality is a 10. Installation is a 9 (unless you get the skid plate). Worth every dime.

I dont think youll find any bad reviews on their products. They are all top notch. The only downside is hacking apart your frame for a couple of installs.

FWIW, the piece of sheet metal between the frame rails can be twisted with your hands. It is no more a structural member than the OEM plastic bumper. The BFH front bumper does require shortening the frame rails although I think the integrity of the frame is unaffected. I personally know that the PSC crew drive what they build and they show no mercy to their rigs.

I would say that the stock bar between the frame rails offers some additional integrity, HOWEVER bolting on 3/16 re-enforced steel between them more than trumps whatever strength the bar was adding. I have the brawler rockers and they are very well made. My wife couldn't fathom why I was drilling into the side of the Jeep, but now thinks they are cool. (They will obviously be sold with the Jeep when it goes).

I'm pretty happy that I bought the the PSC front over the other options I looked in to. I'll have the rear early next week, and if getting just the bumper itself, it's cheaper than other nice options.

I have the PSC front and rear bumpers along with other PSC stuff (flares, body armor, diff covers). Question for anybody with an '11. When my local shop did the front bumper, we inquired about getting the front skid that goes underneath. Rick from PSC indicated that there had been changes to the '11 Wrangler such that the skid wouldn't fit without doing some sort of modification. I was wondering if anybody on here with the brawler lite did get the skid and if so how they went about installing the skid.

Right now I have a Skid Row plate under there but it doesn't offer any protection for the electronic sway bar disconnect so I'd like to get something more substantial to protect underneath.

Thanks!
