Steve, Wanted to say thanks for your help today. I've been on the fence for a while as to what bumper to buy 
and now I can't wait till my new MBRP bumper gets here with all the other goodies. Thanks again!

I would guess by your post that they passed. Not relevant to this thread but Steve the dyno test today revealed an anemic 120 rwhp on stock (87) tune and 127 rwhp with a 93 performance tune. I think I will get a long rubber hose and blow into it to increase hp. Couldn't hurt!

My pleasure! Just got word that your bumper and flares will be shipping out Friday, and will be at your place mid next week. Truck freight is quicker than I thought! You will be able to get everything installed in time for next weekend!

During testing the front face of the bumper was watched for any signs of flex or bowing. Once the winch stalled out the load was released and reapplied to help reveal any movement either by flex of the steel bumper or movement of any bolted connections. There was no movement at all.
The front bumpers are constructed of 3/16” laser cut steel plate and CNC formed before being jig assembled, fully welded and finished. The winch tray is welded to 3 faces on the bumper to help flange the bumper assembly. Additional frame brackets are used to cross bolt the bumper assembly to the frame. All mounting hardware is ½” grade 5, and attaches to the frame at 18 points.

Oh and by the way the stubby looks really really good.
All it needs are some removable wings!

I do think the guys on the dyno were pretty easy on my jeep. Smelled a little clutch and rubber at different times. Hi RPM cuttoff was at 4K so she had a little left in her. I would have hoped for 127rwhp on the stock tune. Did you ever dyno the 2 door? (Hope this isn't seen as highjacking the thread)
