OR-Fab bumpers - feedback
Anyone running one of the OR-Fab bumpers, I'd like to see some more pics and get some feedback about them. I like the look of them.

cheers for the extra pics mate. Does it seem to be a pretty solid unit? how far back does it attach to the uni? (# of bolts?) Will be in the market for a new front when I decide on a winch and this looks like a definite candidate.

the mounts go pretty far back onto the unibody frame...i think there are a total of 5 bolts on each side and 6 that bolt the winch plate onto the bumper itself....its a really solid bumper. i've pulled a full size truck out of a ditch sideways with this thing.....started pullin my jeep across the pavement and the bumper didn't budge. like i said, the only problem i had was when i was winchin a guy out and the front 4 bolts on the winch plate stripped out. but the other two main bolts kept the winch intact. i'll get some pics of the mod i made and post them up here tonight. its really easy....a 3/8 drill bit and some 4 inch long grade 8 bolts and you're golden!
