Had their SRC bumpers front and rear on the TJ I just sold. Front bumper coating started to put and rust within 6 months. Ha to strip it to the bare metal and Bedliner it.

As for the rear, the latch lined up by rattled like hell. An even with regular greasing the hinge was STIFF. Two hands to pull the thing open.

Will definitely think twice before buying any of their products again.

Have the rock rails as well, PS fit like a glove, DS was a PITA. I had to cut and grind the front mount to get it to fit. Now that they are on they are pretty solid. I have the SRC front bumper and love it. Was a piece of cake to install, more PITA to remove the stock bumper.

Thanks for all the replies. Consistency seems like it's lacking... some people like they're stuff others won't go back to it. All helpful information, thanks.

I had no issues installing a stinger,rear bumper with tire carrier,winch,skid plate, i think people don't under stand its a jeep. Every thing Ive bought from known larger supposed to be better manufactures have needed fitment. get it if you like it if it needs fitment deal with it but most of love your jeep.Click image for larger version

I know I said I did it by myself, but I admit I did have a helper (sort of)

Happy Wife, Happy Life... right? Haha.
