i have Olympic 4x4 the last picture i love it. ......no d ring mounts but i made my own and drilled some holes... the winch is coming Thursday can't wait. but i love the bumper... was super easy to install too. you can put the factory fogs in too if you want but once you get a winch i think you have to ditch the fogs so i mounted some in the front on the bumper i will take some pics so you can see what im talking about.

They are just ok. Here's the deal, the JK's have some actual streamling to them, unlike the boxy TJs or previous Jeeps, so the last bumper for example might look good on a TJ but just ok on a JK IMO. They are functional though so that's the main thing, but I also like the right blend of things on a Jeep.

It's really what "you" like though.

The last pic of the stubby I like, but most of the rest of Olympic's stuff looks like S@1t to me. I'm not usually that direct about disliking something, but I can't stand the looks of the Olympic stuff. Those flat tube front bumpers are just aweful. Whomever Olympic has designing their product needs to be shot. Just my .02, and no offense to anyone that has any olympic stuff.

On the rear Olympic bumper - there are better looking rear tube-style bumpers from Rugged Ridge and a new one coming from KC, but.....

KC's will be ~$double the price, and although RR is similar price I don't like the way the 2" receiver is welded on to the tube. The Olympic allows you to use and retain a 2" Hidden Hitch, which is bolted directly to the chassis and extremely secure, better than any hitches welded to a tube bumper.
