Default Thoughts on OR-Fab Bumpers.

So I am thinking of getting some or-fab bumpers on my 2 door rubicon. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Also how is the quality?

Any help would be great

I'd like to know as well. I really dig the front stubby bumper with the small hoop and cut outs the stock driving lights. I like the fact they're made in the good ole USA!

Ya that's the one I am looking at also... Made in the USA is a must for me too, no Chinese crap.

I'll let you know when I get mine. I've been waiting for a 1 1/2 months for a rear. Not a complaint, I understand they get backordered etc. but I'm super anxious!

I can tell you we've been running the OR-Fab stinger bumper for going on 2 yrs and absolutely love it...it's taken some pretty tough hits on the Rubicon and at Moab...and we love the fact it's made in America! Maybe if we all started to look at Made in the USA first then more jobs would be available for our friends, neighbors and kids.

I just got my front bumper yesterday, and my tire carrier is arriving Monday

Hopefully this weekend I can get that front bumper installed, and tell you all my impression with it.

However, I can safely say that OR-Fab packaged this bumper better than anything I've ever seen.

They used that expanding foam to fill in the voids of the box... that sucker wasn't going anywhere. I had to CUT the box open to get at my bumper

They say first impressions are everything, and if the company takes this much effort to ensure the safe delivery of their product, I don't think I'll have any worries with it.

Their products certainly aren't going to get damaged in shipment!

I think I was mainly trying to juxtapose it to the experiences I read about in this thread:

I run their front / rear bumpers, rocker sliders and rear tire carrier.... you think I like them? I think the only thing that they make that I don't own is their side armor.

Their products are SERIOUSLY top notch. They are 100% made in the USA and priced far below their foreign made competitor's products. You can almost get a front & rear bumper for the price of a single bumper from other companies. Incredible customer service. I could go on all day. Buy them and never look back!

Looking forward to seeing pictures...I need some pics to seal the deal.
