There is a lot of thought and care put into the design of a Rat-Rod. Most are only built to look unsafe .

Default New bumper/winch/lights

I finally got my new bumper, winch, and lights installed. The bumper came complete with a nice scratch on it from shipping. At first I was a bit unhappy, but I figured it's already got the first scratch on it, so it won't be so bad when I scratch it up.

Looks great. Although the style wouldnt go well with the way Recon looks now, Ive always said that ARB bumper should have been the stock Jeep bumper.

Default ARB Front Bumper

Looks awesome Jordan!! I like the location of your recovery points better verses where they are on my ARB Deluxe. Nice setup.

You coming with us down to Mountainside this weekend? Maybe break in that sweet looking bumper by smacking a few trees that try to get in your way.

I had to bandage up Wilbur after he was bullied by a very aggressive oak during one of my rides (see ----> https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/why-i-like-duplicolor-bedliner-coating-74046/ ).

I think that if you took some photos of the scratch and contacted either the shipping company or seller that you might get some $$ back. Just a thought...I had a filing cabinet delivered via FedEx recently that came with a minor scratch, and they reimbursed me the FULL cost of the item.
You know, it's really not that bad of a scratch. That and the fact that I already got a $155 credit on their price match guarantee on both the winch/bumper order. I bought it a day before they put out they were offering free IPF lights when you bought a bumper, and they threw them in too. I think I'll let the scratch slide.
