Aluminum bumper?
I was curious if anyone had the Rugged Ridge rear aluminum bumper pods and if so, have you used the Drings to pull anyone out or be pulled out? How did they hold up? I'm really concerned about adding more weight to my 2007 JKSU! I like the look of the setup but if its going to break.......

how much are you finding the bumper pods for? they seem way overpriced from what I've seen ($500+)

I shy away from aluminum bolted to steel.
Google electrolysis kids-you're building a battery that will rot your vehicle especially when moisture and road salt (electrolyte) is present. Ah like winter? Check out transport trailers that are a few years old.

The alternative would be GenRight. They've got an aluminium rear bumper that looks more like a normal bumper. It also doesn't cost as much - several hundred less if you were thinking of adding the RR center section. About the only downside I see is that it doesn't give you quite as much clearance, but that's mostly due to the corner protection it provides.
