Default Smittybilt SRC bumpers. Worth it?

I was thinking about getting the SRC front stinger bumper but I've read reviews that they are poorly made and the provided bolts break and the hardware doesn't fit and blah blah blah. Anyone here have any issues with them? And if so, any recommendations?

I was thinking of going for the XRC M.O.D. front bumper. I hope I wont have any installation problems once I have the bumper.

0 Issues with mine. Only real complaint I ever had was how hard it was to get the 2 front bolts in for the winch. But the way I look at it, that just makes it that much harder for a thief to steal the winch. (NOT going to happen).

I love my src stinger and xrc rear with no tire carrier. Install was super easy but the back bumper is tricky to do by ur self. I had to file one hole out in the front but other than that couldn't be happier. And it's stout too I've winched big rocks out of the way and trees and my jeep a couple times I love it. My whole jeeps smitty. I got the comp 8000 synthetic rope whinch too ita great
