Yeah no shit!! I'm still debating on keeping it, it does not look as good as the websites pictures showed. looks like i will be switching to the body armor winch bumper soon.. It's gonna be free so I will take it.

glad you wernt offended too , just had to be honest
weve all f@$ked up on items we bought and put it on and kinda say I think I ruined it lol if that's the case I hold on to the stock for a bit you can always take the new crap off and start over good luck some times we have to stuff it in the shed and eat the cost of learning to be more cautious I know ive screwed up before ill see how my new ps bumper looks if it don't fit ill sell it for sh$t

I still have the stock bumper, that's why I kept it. Not sure if I will take it off right away, I bought it used for $100 so I could take it off and sell or for what I paid for it. Looks like like body armor is gonna be the way to go, since I have already have the body Armor rear tire carrier and would like both bumpers to match

Bumper looks great.
Still no word on mine.I actually just emailed Northridge4x4(AGAIN),to see whats going on.Today makes 5 weeks,and still no response.Like i told them in my email,I'm on my 4TH jeep and had several other 4x4's that ive spent thousands of dollars on.I mainly order from 2 compainies and decided to give them a shot,because of things i've read from the forum.Have to say,worst customer service ever.

I installed the Olympic 4x4 530 rock bumper. It's believe it's the lightest bumper they have. There is also a winch plate, D ring mounts and bull bar, that can be purchased to be added.More than Likely I'm will install a winch and d rings as funds become available. I'm like you and don't want to add the extra weight. I already added a body armor rear bumper and tire carrier that weights about 100 lbs
.I tell you one thing, I ordered through a well known online store that starts with a Q. They took the order and said nothing about a back order. I think it was three or four months and numerous phone calls to them and Olympic and O said they would ship Tuesday and Q said they would ship Thursday and this went on and on and on each week until I was a bit frustrated with both. But, I do like them and would still order from both companies and in the end they came through, just beware, good things sometimes must be waited for.

I got the front and rear Olympic for my JK. Nice quality, not heavy but still decently stout. Will take a winch and can be gotten with factory fog adapters and a front reciver which is way useful. The front looks great, the rear is nice but the gap to the tub is kinda big, still, it looks good. Way much better than the stupid looking Tuppa-bumpies that came with the JK and nobody any longer mistakes the Wrangler for an old Liberty, now it looks like a Wrangler . I tell you one thing, I ordered through a well known online store that starts with a Q. They took the order and said nothing about a back order. I think it was three or four months and numerous phone calls to them and Olympic and O said they would ship Tuesday and Q said they would ship Thursday and this went on and on and on each week until I was a bit frustrated with both.
