By the way, Warn Industries was awesome to work with and the bumper came all encased on a pallett and powder-coated.

I think you would really enjoy the high quality, especially if you mount a nice size winch. I run the Powerplant HD in this same bumper and I have had no issues.

I have had mine now for 3 months, easy to clean I can't find anything I don't like about it. As far as installing it, if you have read the directions and have everything layed out and some kind of jack to lift and hold the bumper ( if your installing it alone) it will take you about 2 1/2 hours. Maybe less but when you install the factory fog lights you will need to adjust them because they move when you tighten them down. This pic was taken the morning after I put mine on. Other jeeper always come over and look at it wondering what kind it is.

I am happy with mine. I thought the installation was easy. I did relocate the vacuum pump. I also installed the factory fogs. The Warn 9.5cti-s is the winch that was installed.

Been looking at getting this same bumper for a few weeks now. Who did you get yours from? How long for shipping?

I haven't ordered mine, but 4 wheel parts matched any lower price I found on the Net. The bumper was a few days away. Waiting for Christmas.

I bought mine from got-chrome(dot)com. $635 with free shipping. I love it! I get compliments all the time. My recommendation on install is when actually mounting it with the 8 large bolts, get them all started before tightening any of them. I had a little trouble with alignment.
