Rear bumper without carrier. Super light and looks good. Havent tested it yet as its brand new.

But I gotta say, man, your Jeep is outstanding. Love the way yours looks. That looks more like a candy apple red than the fire engine red (which I personally hate) and I like it. Don't mean to offend anyone by saying I hate red......that's just my taste. I know lots of people love red, including my own son. That's what's great about being an American; you can do things your way and as long as you like it, that's all that counts!

Oh......I forgot to say what I came on to post in the first place, lol.
I've been saving all winter to buy the Body Armor Front Bumper - #19531, the Body Armor Rear Bumper (the one that you can add the swing arm to later if you want - #2395, because they also have one that doesn't offer that choice - #2394, I think), their Skid Plate - #5123, and an entry-level Superwinch w/synthetic rope - #1505201. I've been researching these products for about 2 years due to the fact that I can't afford to blow money like I could when I was young. I've read many reviews, done a lot of comparisons, talked to people who four wheel, etc. From what I understand, Body Armor makes a decent product at a fair price. Most reviews I've read have been positive but there are always (or almost always) a few people who either had a bad purchasing/shipping experience or just flat-out don't like the product. As to the winch, Warn probably makes the most well-respected winch in the world. Many people believe that's because they're made in America. From what I've read, most of them are but not their entry-level winches which is what I'll be buying. Another well-respected brand is Superwinch and they have an entry-level synthetic that's under $500. So that's the one I'm going with. I don't hit the dirt like I used to when I was younger but I'd rather have a winch and never need it than need it and never have it. Good luck (to both of us!).

had mine on sense 2008 and been pretty happy with the set up. I put a XRC 8 winch and it hasn't failed me yet.
Body Armor's rock rails starting to bend up on the body seam, so welded up some brackets off the frame. Started rock crawling a little harder lately is why

Got the base rear "high clearance" bumper about a year ago due to being rear ended. So far so good. I like the additional clearance, the finish on mine is great, and its relatively light weight. I didn't see good reviews for the tire carrier so that's why I got just the bumper...plan to add the teraflex carrier in the future.
