I don't personally have it on my Jeep, but when I worked at our Jeep store we used it on a lot of package Jeeps and I was impressed with it. They bolt right on and its a high quality piece. When I replace my stock bumpers, that's what I'm going to be purchasing.

I am thinking about this bumper too. Here is a write up on the install with pix from 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine:

Here's a few of mine when I installed.


Mine wasn't drilled for the tire swing, but I drilled it myself. I'm happy with the finished product.

When did you buy yours? I have read that they no longer come with the "Jeep" cut out on the passenger side-and that's one of the things I love about it...

Sorry, I don't have pics. But, I have both the front and the rear. I have the rear without the tire carrier. However, I can say that this bumper is tough! It offers more clearance than most aftermarket bumpers and did I mention it's tough!? Also, I have the front bumper without the winch. I customized the front a bit (drilled/installed Hella lights underneath the grill guard and put D-ring mounts on instead of having the crush can covers). Overall, the front bumper is a nice match to the rear, and very strong as well. However, I feel there are nicer front bumpers out there than the Mopar one; unless of course you are willing to customize your front one to your likings. I'll try to put some pics up if I find my digital camera.

Ratings:

Rear Bumper - 10/10 - I really like the strength, flat black, the look, the funcionality. I feel the mopar rear bumper is set up perfectly for the JK.

Front Bumper - 6/10 - It's strong and the finish is nice. However the crush can covers are plastic, the grill guard I think is too small, and there are just so many better bumpers I feel. I had to customize my front bumper to my likings and functions in order to give it a 8/10 for mine.
