I have the XRC and I like it. I holds my winch and has hit several rocks, but it still looks great.

I would have perfered a bumper with fog cut outs, but I got a great deal on the XRC from my jeep dealer who wanted it out of their parts department.

The only issue I had installing it was that the stud bolts on the bumper were slightly off from the holes at my jeep's frame end. I needed to slightly widen 1 hole for it to fit. So it was not bad at all.

BTW there is no way I could have lifted that bumper and lined it up myself. Just make sure you have a friend nearby to help you put it on.

I have several friends with OrFab bumpers too and they are great. You choice really depends on the look and cost.

I have the XRC bumpter with the stinger and its been solid. The powder coat, etc is of no lesser quality than that on my Or Fab tire carrier.
