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!
Thanks for the input Thats just what I wanted to hear... Any pics of the rear?

Jeep(NV), I found a pic request thread that jwhitehorn started about the front ORFab stubby stinger bumper, here's a couple of shots of mine:





My initial impression of the bumper was that it was real good quality and beefy. Upon installing it, I could tell that my impression was just the tip of the iceberg!

The way this thing connects to the frame and the way all the parts and plats tie in to one another is incredible, just beefy and sturdy as all hell! I haven't even gone wheeling with mine on yet, unfortunately, but I'll hopefully change that soon.

Overall, I was impressed with this bumper more than I thought I would. And I bought mine 2nd hand from a local guy here who ran it a bunch, and gave it some punishment, but it looks brand new!

I just installed the rear bumper and tire swing on my 2011 Rubi JKU. Nothing but impressed so far. Fit and finish is top notch. I have the front stubby you mention on order.

I got all three pieces plus the front skid for $1300 shipped from David. That's the same or less than the import competition, and a lot less than the domestic competition.

Yep, I love my OR Fab stubby stinger, it is probably the best built piece on the whole jeep. Jeep itself included lol. Rock solid piece, price point is phenominal, and design is second to none.

No pics, im at work, but it is the nicest stinger on the market.

I really need help deciding on the rear bumper I can't pick between the rock slider or the sheet metal

Any pictures of these to help me decide?

Sorry for the slow response. This is of my rear bumper, which I also had the ORF logo cut into the center, other than that logo not being in the center, this is exactly what you'd get (if you ordered the textured finish).



Hope this helps!

Default OR Fab Tire Carrier

Yates,
How do you like the OR Fab Tire Carrier? They claim it is rattle free, is that true. Does it open with the tailgate or do you have to open it separately. I'm debating between and integrated system like an E1 and a separate bumper and carrier like OR Fab makes and would take any feedback you have.

Thanks,
Lincoln

It opens separately. My brother just ordered the tire/can version from Northridge and I should be helping him install it in a couple of weeks. To me, it looks like a very practical and solid solution to getting the weight off the factory gate...and the price is awesome compared to most bumper carrier systems.

I'm sure Yates will respond with more specifics.
