Just wanted to know if anyone has any input on this set up ? found one brand new in the box on Craigs List for 165 so im picking it up on Thursday..

 

I have the stubby without the foglight holes. I like it but it was a pain to mount. It needed a little persuasion to fit. Depending on the winch being mounted you may or may not need the bracket for the vacuum pump if you have a 12 or newer and the winch can't be mounted after the bumper is on.

 

Don't buy a Rough Country BUMPER. it will make your jeep ride like crap. Just a joke.

Just thought is use the opportunity to add my totally unfounded opinion about Rough Country like 99% of the other members on this forum.

 

I have it on the front of my JK. I love it. The finish is a little thin so you will want to shoot it with some spray paint before installation. I have had some tough pulls on mine with the winch and the hooks and no problems. Install was a breeze.

 

I have been running it on mine for a long while now and I love it, no winch yet, I re-used the factory tow hooks and it was pretty easy to install by myself even, an impact wrench is your friend getting the old one off! Cheers!

 

Love mine too. Holding up great too! I may shoot it with some bedliner this year or the next. Fog mounts were a plus. Mounted rigid lights and brackets. Its not a fancy bumper, very military looking but its somewhat light and hides the winch nicely. Had to drill holes to mount lights up top though.

 

been running mine for almost 2 years now. I didnt have any issues with mounting. its more of a winch plate than a bumper but i love it!

 

My only trouble mounting was because it was really tight between the frame rails. Once it was in place everything almost fell together but I needed a big pry bar and a hammer to get it into place.

 

AWSOME !! Thanks for input guys .. I picked this up on Craigslist still in the box sealed for 160 !! Guy ended up trading his jeep before he got to put it on .. He also threw in the relocation bracket .. I ordered the d-ring mounts and can't wait to mount it all .. I'm gonna be winch less for a wile cause I really wasn't expecting to get a new bumper yet .. Just couldn't pass that up

 

SWEET! You will like it. I second adding a coat of bed liner to it, the finish is a bit thin. I love mine though.
