Very nice. I was gonna run 3.5 with flat flares and 40's if I go to flat flares now...I don't have to lift it. Hmm...save 3k? Tempting. I like the look on your rig!

I love this bumper. I was wondering a couple of things... Has anyone installed it on a 2012? If so, did you have to relocate the vacuum pump that is in the way for a lot of bumpers? Also, do you have to take the bumper off to install a winch? I noticed that the winch sits on top, so I thought maybe not.

Thanks,

I have one on a 2012 and I did not have to move the pump. I am not in love with the quality of the bumper or the way it comes to the house but it fits on a 2012.
The winch can be mounted after the bumper is mounted but the fogs are easier to install before the bumper is installed. The expectation is you will reuse the stock screws to mount the fogs on the PSC bumper which is a PITA, you basically have to strip the screws since your screwing them into steel with no threading. Hard to get them tight and good luck if you ever want to get the fogs out of the bumper. PSC does not provide bolts but you could find some. The bumper comes bare steel and mine had rust on it more then just from finger prints and then they slap shipping stickers on it. You will pay extra to clean it right or have someone do it for you at a paint shop. The bottom inside nuts do not tighten all the way without adding another washer to take up the space. you will have to get 2 washers. You wont be able to get a skid unless you are willing to chop the crash bar off your jeep. PSC has mentioned they might make one for 2011 and newer jeeps but that has been said since others have asked for 2011's.
I wont get into the other things... Overall for the money I am dissappointed with what PSC delivers. You can buy cheaper bumpers that come painted with all the bolts you need to put in the fogs and other companies offer good customer service usually willing to work with you to get what you need. Does the bumper look nice? Sure but so do other bumpers and some weigh less.

How much is a typical powder coat job for one of these?
I powder Coated mine and it really holds up well had my able winch wrapped around te bar cause the winch broke and almost no scratches at all ! Very satisfied with powder coat!
