Default OR Fab rear bumper.......???

Anybody know anything about this little jewel???? I think it's sexy as hell...especially if it comes with the lights?????
But on the same note...looks kinda wimpy....maybe it's the modular construction aspect of it....and 1/8" tubing (almost)...
I'm wonnerin if it's got the azzz to be tugged on to get me out of a rut...
and if it's sturdy enuff to be jacked on to get me out of a rut if no tugger is available!!!! (I carry my own 2X4 blocks just in case)....winch and bumper will come BE4....lift and tires....cause it just seems like I LOVE to get stuck!!! WOOO-HOOOO!!!!!
Thanks in advance for your time..
Scott

From what I have seen. It is pretty good looking and the hitch mounts like a stock one. So it should be ok for pulling.

Well, my Off Road Fab front bumper which is the match to this rear bumper has pulled my XJ out of a couple really bad stucks. Once I was buried to the door handles in snow. One other time it had slid off the side of the trail. My XRC8000 winch and ORF bumper pulled the full weight of my XJ up the side of a vertical cliff. Then there was the time my bumper and winch combo pulled the full weight of my XJ up a hill about 15 feet while it was laying on it's side in a "V" notch. Bottom line is I speak from personal experience when I say that ORF bumpers are tuff and they will protect your XJ and you can depend on it as a pulling point when you need to be pulled out of any stuck.

I have both the front and the rear OR fab set up, actually got the first of the line on the rear as per Kevin at OR Fab. Both very easy to install and extreamly stout and the best part very affordable. I would highly recomend either or both. Also the rear does have a frame tie in as does the front.
