Default Rock Hard 4x4 Full Width Bumper?

Does anyone have the Rock Hard 4x4 Full Width bumper on thier JK. It looks like it would be a good match for the Expedition One rear bumper. I can't seem to find anyone who has one.

I've got one. I think it is the best JK bumper out there. It is hell for stout and mine has taken a heck of a beating and still looks great. I've got a Warn PP winch in it and Hella Rally 4000's on it. I'm extremely happy with this bumper. I got the first one out of the factory other than the prototype that Lewis (the owner of RH) has on his JK.

If you have any questions let me know. If I could figure out how to post a pic or two I would.

I'm interested in how it mates to the fender wells, protects the Rubi swaybar motor, and what the largest size light you can mount on it is. I really want a set of Lightforce Blitz lights and they're, well, huge. 10" tall. I'm wondering if they would fit.

Have you seen the pics on the RH website? If you click on the thumbnaails they get big and you can see how things interface. My Hella;s are 8 1/2" wide and 9" tall and work well and look good.

There could be more protection for the swaybar motor. It's probably better than anything else other than the AEV which adds a 300+- skid. I've been thinking of adding a 3" extension to the rear to protect it a bit more. I haven't had any problems in that area nor has anyone else with the bumper that I've talked to.

I'm not sure how to post a pic. Supposedly I could put pics inthe project JK section but haven't been able to figure out how. If you send me a PM with your email address I'll sent a pic or two over to you.

Default Bumper

Heres an up close pic, I like this bumper a lot, my only worry is if I was to get different fender flares the bumper wont line up.

It does line really nice with the fenders and it also covers the swaybar motor.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about buying this bumper but have a few questions.

Does it work with 2012?

And how about winch capability. How do you know what winches work? I'm thinking about warn m8000. Do you have to modify this bumper to add certain types of winches?
