This is the Rocker right? Was thinking of getting this. Have you beaten it up yet? How has it held up?

Yep this is the rocker bumper and I've winched a couple full size trucks out and pulled a full size oak out of the road that had fallen from the hurricane. Haven't had any issues so far, the bumper hasn't moved and neither has the winch.

Can also vouch for them. Picked mine up locally. This is a stout bumper. Just recently added a winch and noticed they have cutouts for the wiring. Was pretty neat.

My concern was the 1/8" material but I like the style, and price is great right now. I guess it's thick where it counts, winch plate, mounting etc.

The rocker is the same one I've been eyeballing. Going to order it with the stinger soon as my tax return comes in.

Since it's so light did the bumper and winch drop the front of your jeep any? I've got a pair of 3/4" spacers I could put back in if it does.

I've decided to go with the "swamper" bumper, just because it's wider and I'm keeping my flares. I think it'd look better than the shorter ones. BUT, on their ebay page it lists it as 68" wide. Which would put it about 2" wider than the flares on each side. But going by their pic on their site and the ebay page it shows it even with the flares. I'm thinking that may be a typo but I'm going to call tomorrow to make sure. If anything I can cut it down and re-weld some end-caps on to make it the same width.

68 would put it about 1.5-2" past the flares on both sides.
