If you are going for that "look" of the bumper you have in your OP, I would consider just spending some cash to get quality and pick up the ARB bumper.
Otherwise, I say there are lots of other better options.
So, in other words, no. No one has any experience with that particular bumper. They will, however, take the opportunity to show pictures of their own bumpers, though, and critique a piece they've never actually seen before.
Hey new here, just bought my first XJ! Is anyone running one of their bumpers? Thinking of getting this one and would like some input on the quality. Thanks in advance!

JeremyXJ: I appreciate your candid observation, and see the ironic humor in it, however the OP asked if anyone has one, "...and would like some input on the quality". Although my critique was a bit harsh, I admit, it was sincere. One of the things us humans do to judge quality is to make asessments based on a visual inspection. It's reasonable to make this inspection of a manufacturer's photograhic representation of their product, otherwise why would a manufacturer even provide photos? If the OP gets the bumper simply because he likes it, good for him, but there's nothing off-topic (as you imply) about giving the input on quality that he asked for in his post.
I'm not a fan of it either. The random bar on the top just looks out of place, there's too many bolt on components for my taste, and the shackle mounts look undersized.
.........and I'm pretty damn sure that the winch is photo shopped onto the bumper.......

Wow. Chill out. Have a beer.

Some of us are scared of the less known cheaper bumpers,And some of those small bumper companies can take months to send you a bumper and your not happy with the fit and finish.
