Default RockHard Bumper reviews?

Seriously thinking about getting the RockHard 4X4 Full Width Front Bumper with recessed winch mount, and the RockHard 4X4 Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier for my 2012 JK. Any reviews out there and/or pics? Help a fella out.

I like both mine. They are heavy though. Quality construction. Really nice looking welds. I bought the rock hard full width front bumper mainly so that I can tow it behind my motor home.

Got any pics? Mainly like the front for the recessed winch mount and the overall styling. Going for the rear is the swing out tire carrier. Big spare making my tailgate rattle too much.

Looks awesome! Been looking at bumpers for 6 months trying to decide. Thanks for the pic.

Went to Offroad shop today to order bumpers. Changed my mind at the last minute. Now I have the Warn Elite bumpers on their way. Front going on with a Warn 8,000lb winch, rear with swing away tire carrier. Install will be next Wednesday. Can't wait to see the change.

I went with their rear bumper and tire carrier system. I am pleased with it, however, I worry that the pin is swings on will not hold up to years and years of heavy use as the tire and basket are quite heavy. I have also added the jerry can mounts. From there I added a second set of back up lights that are actually head lamps.



Without the basket, there is very little mounting area for a shovel and axe. There is also a mounting area for a hi lift jack.



As it stands I am planning to remove the basket and have a couple of brackets made that I can mount my shovel and axe on. Just a note, if you are planning to get the basked, I am not sure that 37 inch tires will fit. I have 35 inch tires now and they fit well.

I did chose to go with Bestop front bumper with winch. I personally wanted a stubby after denting my stock bumper on a rock. I figured that meant the full bumper was in the way. Also, if you chose to change the fenders, it makes a full bumper look funny.

Oh, I forgot to say, I love the look of the Rockhard rear bumper system. It was my first mod.
