It's not installed in those pictures, but it bolts right up under the winch.

P.S. would be great to have some gerry can mounts (so I can re-use what I already have) and a cargo rack.

Keep up the good work!

Reverse lights are something we're looking at. It might be something that simply gets mounted to the of the bumper.

I'm fresh out of stock Rubicons, but I bet I know someone that has one up in CA and would take some pictures for me.

Final price is TBD. It's listed on the site right now, but I'm sure I'll work some promotional intro pricing for the forum. Shop around and see what other bumpers cost with the same features. I think you'll find this bumper to be top tier in performance and still competitively priced.

love it, but I'm not a big fan of having a rear winch. if u offer the same bumper without the winch, I would preorder now.

Snap some pic's of this bumper on a stock Rubicon and post it here ASAP, as I am not the only one that is interested!

P.S
I am in the market for a new rear and front bumpers, and I think that I have just found the perfect bumper!!!

I love it. A couple of questions: (1) is there room to cut in at least one reverse light (possibly on the driver's side of the bumper); (2) does the tire carrier open with the rear gate or is it separate; and (3) is the gas can the center mount type like are sometimes found on 4x4 quads (and, if so, is there enough room there to run two of the 5 gallon larger rectangular style gas cans)? Thanks, and again, nice work.

I think I'm going to have to go change my "to do" list now.
