... til the SRC bumpers are available. I just got off the phone with them.
Also, does anyone know anything about Rugged Ridge? They have a bumper that looks exactly like Smittybilt's (I swear it's the same picture), but the Smittybilt tech support had never heard of Rugged Ridge.

Anyone know if Smittybilt is still using plastic plugs to cap the ends of the tube steel they use to build the bumpers?
I had a Smittybilt rear tube bumper on my '99 TJ for less than a year. Water gets past the plastic caps and starts to rust the tube steel from the inside, eventually making its way to the outside and causing the powdercoat to peel off in small sheets.
If they still build'em like that, I'll take a pass on their stuff.
