Default Olympic rear bumpers

I put on a Flowmaster super 44 muffler and now my stock rear bumper is melting. I could bend the pipe down or I could get a new bumper so I am looking at Olympic tubular wrap around bumper. Any thoughts on this bumper? any opinions?

This bumper is pretty bare bones,love the wrap around tube fitted close to the body. Great price, and in my opinion even a nice platform to weld on some plate and a carrier if you feel a little frisky. Or just bash it over and over and replace it

Have not really seen too many minus the web pics, hopefully a bump will stir something up.

not a bad bumper for the price, but the finish is shitty as hell on it. You can always just paint it yourself once it starts flaking everywhere.

It is great value for the $, and plenty sturdy.

It took a good knock when I smashed into a tree when sliding back on a hillclimb, the Hi-lift bar bent 40° and needed replacing, and Olympic bumper was dented but barely moved. I've had mine for over 3 years with the Gloss black finish and had zero issues, it has held up very well. (Pghchamp looks like the Rubicon (matt) black finish).



This is more a photo of the Warrior corner, but you can see the wrap around bumper does protect the JK body.
