Good god; i shudder to think of how badly a KNOCKOFF of SMITTYBILT will rust, just in shipment...Its not the same bumper as the Smittybilt, look at the clevis placements, its a copy, probably went through no R&D which is why its so cheap.

Mind getting a close up of the welds? I'm curious as to the skill-set level/value of time aspect of the price. It looks like several hours of work for one person.I bought one last week, different model but same company. I ordered on Tuesday and got it 4 days later. The packaging sucked but the bumper is solid. Direct bolt on and the welds and powder coating looks great.

For $220, what bumper would you recommend Imped? Doesnt have to be bulkyI fail to see the appeal of big, fat, heavy bumpers.....
For that price, you could do better.
aannndddddddd get ready to take it all back off. Should have waited a day, bud. The bumper has to be off to install the winch. I did the exact same thing due to excitement. :facepalm:Well I ordered the bumper and recieved it today, installed it with no issues ! Bumper was exactly as described. Well made and looks great, going to put the winch on tomorrow. Shipping was normal speed from out west, about a week. I replaced the factory bolts with grade 8 1/2 x13x 1 1/2 with a washer and lock washer,,, used a impact srewdiver and wacked each one then used a impact gun set to one above the lowest setting they all came out with no trouble. all and all it was a great day no broken torx bits or rounded out bolts (counting my blessings with each one that came out.) I give this bumper a thumbs up. Ill post pics later had to send my i phone out for repairs.
