Just a tip, when that bumper comes in, it would be a good idea to put a fresh coat of paint on it to help prevent rust. Those bumpers are known to rust due to sketchy powder coating from the factory.

Interesting. I've had mine for some time now all over the trail and no rust yet.

I think it depends a lot on the climate you live in. A guy at work's Barricade bumper hasn't been holding up too well in the Michigan rust belt climate and road conditions. There's been a lot of reports from others as well of seeing rust and bubbling after only 2 months.

Oh man, that does not look good! Parts I have ordered raw and painted myself with rust oleum bedliner 5 years ago look way better than that... And I suck at spray painting, lol

Well the bad news is, the hood came in dented worse than the stock one I was replacing... waiting on a new hood to be delivered and installed. Hopefully this Friday I'll have my Jeep back, it's been a very long month with this rental...
