I order the Olympic Rock rear for mine. I'll post pics when it arrives.
It's super cheap ('bout $260, something like that) and super simple, which goes well with the stripped-down look I'm going for on my rig.

Dammit. Wish I saw this before I bought my POS body armor one. Had to put in shims on it to get rid if droops and it rattles. No hi-lift jack accommodations either

So don't buy the Body Armor bumper!

Here ya go. I just cut the ends off, notched a V out, and folded the end in with rivets.

Hey Jordan! How are you? I guess your back in the Yukon now? I don't have pics of my bumper. You can't really tell it's damaged without grabbing it and moving it by hand. The stump I hit pushed the bumper back until the mounting bolts tore through the plastic. Than I pushed it back in with a rock/embankment at the bottom of a descending sidehill. Bumper still looks fine at a glance, just knowing it's busted is bugging me though. Bumpers on high up on my list of priorities right now, so I'm just getting some ideas as too what kind of inexpensive options are out there.

Chopn, your bumper looks great.
