Anyone have the Oly 4x4 500 series rock bumpers?

Question Anyone have the Oly 4x4 500 series rock bumpers?

I noticed them in the JK catalog from Quadratec and like the look and price of these bumpers. Are there any members around here that are running them? If so I'd like to see pictures, especially of the rear, since it seems to sit a little low in the product photos.

I have the front and rear Olympic Rock bumpers. I bought them 2 yrs ago for my '07 and transferred them on to my '08. They have held up great, no problems with the powdercoating, and are strong plate steel. I have the front with the 2" receiver on the bumper. The rear does sit a little low, but it gives you clearance for a 35" spare. You can modify the brackets to put them higher if you want. You can drill higher holes in the frame rails to get them up an inch or two.

I have the front bumper with the 2" receiver as well. I wanted to ask two questions.
1. where did you get the front bar taht seems to wrap around it? Is it an Olympic bolt on that works with the Rock Bumper?

2. My receiver seems to be just a touch too small. I cannot fit anything into it. Have you had this problem?

Thanks

I am considering this as well. My question is - I do not have fog lights and would any generic light fit in there or do you have to have the factory mounting brackets?

Also - There are no hooks or d-rings on the bumper. Can any d-ring bracket fit on there or the factory tow hooks?

I have the front rock bumper without hitch mount on the way. I am going to reuse factory fogs and tow hooks.

Pictures please. The only thing holding me back on this bumper is the lack of tow hooks. I heard you can't remove the bolts from the bumper?

I'll post before, during and after pics of the bumper installation.

The stock tow hooks can be reused with this bumper according to Olympic. I'll let you know!
