So I'm shopping for a bumper... Stumbled across this Rough Country one: http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-jk-...mper_1054.html

I think I like it... And the price certainly is right. But the only pictures I can find are from this angle and on this Jeep. Anyone running this that has pics? I am really looking for a straight on pic.

Any other info, like weight or experiences are appreciated... Thanks in advance.

Im not sure if this is the same one that your talking about but I believe it is. Theres a whole thread based on this bumper with several pictures of users with it installed. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the photo... How long have you had it? Seems to be a little different version...

I noticed you winch haus is centered in the bumper. The one on the link i posted is offset... I'm not sure how i feel about that.

I love the look the only downfall seems to be the thinness of the metal but the weight is minimal so it's a trade off.

Looks good...but a bit of a pain in the ass to install. Had to drill out some holes because they just did not line up. And the instruction manual sucked....but who needs that thing anyways.

I am happy with it though, so it was worth it....back bumper and tire carrier go on tonight.

Thanks for the update... I like it other than the offset fairlead. That might be a deal-breaker for me. I'm also considering the JCR mid-depth winch stubby.

(Actually I am getting close to making a decision. My only trouble is choosing what to do first. I want their Front / Rear Bumpers and Skids... But only have $ for two of them so for now I wait This would also leave me finishing them with the rattle-can and I would like Powder. I was hoping Uncle Sam would be returning some money to me but it looks like I'm gonna owe him

I wish there were more offerings for integration with rectangular Rigid, or Rigid like, LED lights over the Stockers... I know a bunch of people have the stock lights already, but I'm not that impressed with them and they use a bastard light bulb.

Anyway... Thanks a bunch for the pictures. It helps me a lot!
