Fits 2016 wrangler sport unlimited 4 door
Bumper came packaged well and without a scratch on it. Looks great and wasn't hard to install (2016 Wrangler sport unlimited 4 door). I can't wait to see how it holds up to the winch pulling it out of the mud. The d-links are shiny and fit well through the mounts, they're not too sloppy so they shouldn't rattle too much. I was worried the driving lights might not fit properly, but they screwed right into place with no fuss at all. If you aren't afraid to do a little modding you can cut the plastic piece that fits behind your stock bumper so you don't have an unsightly gap between the bumper and the grill (photos). I also reused my air dam with just a minor modification and some screws and washers (makes a much cleaner look). All in all I'm really satisfied with the look and build quality.

heavy duty bumper
It was shipped quickly and was well packaged. Easy installation. The plastic, stock filler between the bumper and grille does not work with this bumper. I had some metal plate cut and powder coated black to infill between bumper and grill. Good product for the money, fog lights fit good, good coating over metal. Happy with bumper, great deal for the price.

Strong, Aesthetic Bumper
I have had this bumper for about a year now and it has held up incredibly. It is very strong and makes the Jeep look much better. Wiring spot lights on it was easy as there is a hole to feed the wires through the tube of the bumper on either side.

Someone didn't think this through
So the bumper as a bumper is great BUT there are mounting brackets for lights with a tiny hole in the tube. The hole even comes plugged. But there is NO hole between the bumper and tube so the tiny wires holes are useless and unless you want to run the wires just dangling outside of the bumper or tie wrap to the tube then the light bar mounts are useless. Bumper looks great but is stupid... Get the drill.

It could've been 5 stars with attention to detail
After some minor damage to the stock front bumper on my JKU, I decided to do what I had planned to do for a while and install a steel bumper, choosing the Restyling Factory full-width bumper. It was in my price range and needed no modifications to the fog light harness. This is identical to the GSI Rock Crawler, and I believe EAG sells the same exact thing also. All are Chinese products using 5/32” steel and it’s pretty hard to drill through, as I found out. Using a brand new titanium drill bet, it took quite a while to drill two 7/16” holes to attache the OEM skid plate after the bumper was mounted. Also, after watching some installation videos on YouTube, I noticed that the version sold for much more by Extreme Terrain had almost identical construction, so there’s that.I’m including unpacking photos so you can see that it was well packed and arrived without a scratch. There were several reviews for this bumper as well as other bumpers of this type that cited damage upon arrival but contrary to my usual luck, this one was all good, the powder coat looked great and the bull bar light mounts were welded on nice and straight.I won’t get into bumper removal since it’s straightforward and there’s plenty of information online as to how to do this. I will mention that I came across a tip to remove the upper fascia trim piece between the bumper and grill before removing the nuts from the inside frame rail on the driver’s side, which are pretty difficult to remove from below because of the vacuum canister that prohibits easy access. With that part removed, you can easily get a ratchet on both nuts from the top and remove them with no struggle. This trim piece has to come off anyway since it’s too thick to lay beneath the bumper when it’s mounted. I will be modifying the original trim to go back on, however, but I’ll have to update this thread with those details which will involve a jigsaw and a nice steady cut. Without that in place there’s an ugly gap exposing the frame rails and vacuum canister. I see this as a design flaw in the bumper. The manufacturer should’ve made the top plate about 2.75” deeper.Fog lights are mounted on the OE bumper with self-tapping screws which will not be used on this installation. Instead, small bolts with nuts, washers and lock washers are provided. I put the lights on the same sides they came from and found that trying to thread the nuts on the bottom of the bolts was too difficult because there’s simply not enough room to maneuver your fingers. Instead I fed the bolts through the back side of the holes and nutted them on top. They centered nicely and no further adjustments were made, even after the installation was completed - alignment looked great, which says that this area is carefully constructed.With the bumper ready to go on, I noticed that the distance to the top of the frame rail from the top mounting holes was just about equal to the distance from the top of the top stud to the inside top of the bumper. This meant that the bumper would lay right on the frame rails and slide right in. Nice detail. I’ve got stock fender flares and was expecting them to line right up with the end of the bumper. That wasn’t quite the case and after seating the bumper, it basically went on too far (design flaw) and seated about 9/16” inch past where it should’ve been for proper alignment. I pulled the bumper off and set it on the three big styrofoam blocks that came in the shipment to stage it while I proceeded to add the OEM shims, two per side, but instead of one on each pair of studs, I put two on each outer pair of outer studs. For the inside studs I used nuts threaded all the way down on to them which was the same thickness as two shims, and then remounted the bumper with pretty nice alignment that I was happy with.The skid plate went back on with four of the original push fasteners - two on the back side and two in the front and it’s holding nice and tight. Two 7/16” holes needed to be drilled in the bottom of the leading edge of the bumper which I mated with two new holes on the skid plate. The skid plate needed to be cut on both ends also. Without doing this, there’s about 8” of ‘wing’ area that just hangs out there in space in front of the tires so I took that material off quickly with a hack saw, cutting right on the mold lines. The holes that were drilled were about 5” inward from the new ends of the leading edge of the skid plate. It’s not beautiful, but it looks way better than having nothing and is fairly easy to do - except for the drilling through the bumper. That was not fun at all and I think they possibly harden these things in manufacturing.Another design flaw is the placement of the fog light holes, which are too close together. In my state a front license plate is required by law, so two more holes were drilled for that. With the plate on, the side edges left about 1/32” between the plate and the edges of the fog light holes. Any type of license plate frame will overlap the edges of the lights, so no license plate frame will be going on. The manufacturer should address the placement of the fog light openings and move them outward by 1.5".Last thing for now is the bull bar light mounts. On the back side of the bar, below the mounts, there are black rubber plugs which is where the wiring is supposed to go. I have no idea how the wiring is going to thread down the bull bars and into the bumper. I’ll update this review when I get to that point, and also post an update on the top trim panel that still needs to be cut to fit. From the looks of things, the winch will go on easily by just dropping the skid plate as the mount is easily accessed from above and below.I'm teetering between 3 and 4 stars but giving 4 in hopes the manufacturer corrects the flaws in design and releases a better version of this bumper. Fix the mounted alignment issue, extend the top plate toward the grill, and add space between the fog light openings and it's a 5 star grill. I have my doubts that this advice will be taken but hopefully it's reviews such as this one that influences them to improve upon their product(s).Edit, 3.18.19:Adding a new photo to indicate the size of the LED pod light wire that will not fit into the pre-drilled holes below the light mounts without being bored out wider. That wire is only 7/32" in diameter. I'm thinking that the manufacturer never mounted one of their own bumpers and is purely building poorly pirated plans. Knocking it down to 3 stars because the defects are accumulating.Edit, 319.19:Adding three more photos showing the OEM upper valance and OEM skid plate installed with alterations, cutting to fit. Last photo is overall image with everything mounted but the LED lights and winch.

nice fit, smooth lines
Baught this bumper for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, nice fit, smooth lines, looks good on my Jeep. The only issue I had was the dent that it had when it came out off the box from shipping, decided to just keep it instead of sending it back and get another more damaged bumper...I would recommend this item.

What a great fit and fairly easy to install
This bumper is well made in so many ways. It fit well and lined up really easily with all the bolt holes and attachments. One thing that would be a great add to the product is to make a plate that fills the gap between the bumper and the grille. I ended up taking the plastic factory piece, cutting it and shaping it to fit. Otherwise highly recommend have gotten so many compliments.
