Mine's been on over a year. No sags or rattles. It's a little inconvenient since the "latch" is a hitch pin. OTOH, there isn't much can go wrong with a hitch pin. It's plenty strong since my spare caved in the rear hatch of my girlfriend's SUV when she backed into it. I couldn't tell it happened by looking at my Jeep.

No regrets.

It's technically a bumper, ie: sits between the frame rails and extends outwards. In some states you may get shit, but I doubt it. As far as use, it's way overlooked by more expensive rear bumpers, it gets the job done and gets it done well while looking good. If you want proof just scroll through the JK experience thread and look closely at Dynomax's Jeep they're running one and if it can survive that then it can survive...period.

Will be picking one of these up before the new year. Look very functional and more than anything they are a great price. No D-Rings but just use the receiver hitch as a tow point.

I have this bumper and it is as good as it gets for $500. The carrrier is kind of a b*tch to open and close but I have a 2 door and took out my rear seat so anything I need in the back I can reach from the front. All and all its is quiet looks good and gets the job done.

I saw one and the only thing that I didnt like was how far it made the tire sit away from the body. I guess you could use the space for some cans or a jack.

this rear bumper looks great for what I'm looking for. My current expedition one is good but i want to push my rear axle back more to get better clearance for 38's on a 2.5 lift and 1 inch body and I will have clearance issues due to my current bumper goes into wheel well a lot.
