planman.
nice explanation. thanks.
what you are saying makes perfect sense and i understand. it's just that members on this forum are very knowledgeable and current on all things jk.
we like to show all products available for everyone's benefit of price, quality and looks, regardless of whether they are sponsoring vendor's or not.
maybe it is the fact that they are indeed a fairly new company. someone in charge of the forum should ask them to become a sponsoring vendor.
by the way, they have sweet rock rails too!

A lot of the bumpers in production are excellent quality with top notch welds, i dont see anything in the welds or seams on these i dont see when i look at my own Jeep. Yeah, they are nice, but not moreso than others on the market. (some of course do look like crap, but certainly not all)
I havent seen these until recently. the rear i like better than the front, the swingaway looks interesting. I dont like the laser cutouts at all.
I am not knocking these by any means, but if they where all in a pile when i got mine, i'd still have picked the same ones that are on my Jeep now, I simply like mine better. I am sure more people will be running these as they become available.

"look" is subjective, not universal. what one person thinks looks awesome, looks like dog waste to the next.

The huge variety of quality parts out there makes it possible to have a unique jeep and not a clone .

i prefer my mbrp front bumper as well.
but they are definitely worthy of some sort of recognition by someone by now.
pretty much every other bumper available, from a business anyways, has been mentioned on this forum.

The packaging was well thought out too. Despite ups' best efforts, the bumper arrived unscathed.
The box had some dent and puctures in it, but the foam inside was thick enough to prevent the bumper from being scratched. I'll have to take some pics of the packaging too.

The front. It is even nicer in person. Very well made and very nice powder coat.
