You can donate your Body Armor to me once you upgrade...

...unless I've got mine built by then!

When I was bombing down the trail in the Cinders (a lot of whoop de whoops), I could hear it rattle once in a while, but then I realized I was going fast, probably too fast. It has been on the JK for a number of years as well.
Plus you can mount you HI Lift on it, no up charge.




Thanks G! I am not afraid (nor is Ryan) to scratch this stuff, only way the engineers can improve it. See you in a handful of days.
Matt, you are the man my brother! See you soon

X2 - My rig has seen Moab many times and even had a ledge drop on the bumper. No rattles and has taken some SERIOUS beating. Probably one of the best mods I've done. Carried a 37'' inch for 2 years no problems. Even the powder coat has held up with very minimal rust.

Hope it helps.

bumping this, interested in some more opinions on this especially recent buyers. Have they fixed most of the bad things?? I am more about function over looks and like others, I cant justify $1000+ for others. thanks.

I really like my Rugged Ridge bumpers! But everyone likes something different.
