I am running this bumper and I like it very much. Well made, durable, and will certainly handle a 35 tire - it has been doing that on my JK for over 2 years!

With the exception of the rattle I'm trying to track down, I'm happy with mine.

Take a look at where the bumper wraps around the body. Good chance body is hitting the bumper when the body flexes over bumps. Pretty common problem.

Ive had mine for a while now and took it to colorado no problems at all it held up good and dosent make much noise at all. I like the D rings too they are a good size if your going to haul your jeep any straps and chains fit right through them.

Will that bumper fit the stock tow hitch and hook?

Or does it come with it's own receiver?

I didn't think it did, but it's hard to tell in a couple of the posted photos.

I have this bumper and I love it. It fits right around the stock receiver hitch. I have had this bumper for about 4 months now and I can tell you first hand how beefy it is. I got rear ended and the bumper shows no damage at all. The finish is tough as nails and the texture matches the fenders nicely. It will take some time to track down all the rattles with the tire carrier, but once you get everything perfect, it is dead silent.


And to answer someone elses question, there is plenty of room between the bumper and the tub and I cant see any possible way for the bumper to contact the body while flexed.
