I purchased this bumper with low expectations, anticipating a flimsy, cheap product. I was completely mistaken! The build quality is surprisingly excellent – far more robust than I imagined.Installation was straightforward. While I had a friend assist, it's definitely a DIY-friendly project. Anyone with basic mechanical aptitude should be able to disassemble and reassemble it without issue. The most challenging aspect is likely wiring the integrated lights. Once connected, however, they are impressively bright! I actually disconnected them from my factory fog light switch and installed a separate switch, allowing for independent control.The push bar features two 'tabs' that appeared a bit awkward without lights, so I added an auxiliary set. My next step will be to mount a winch, which the bumper appears designed to accommodate.One unexpected issue was the factory plastic rock shield beneath the original bumper. It protruded awkwardly and couldn't be directly attached to the new bumper, leaving the frame exposed. Since having a shield is essential for aesthetics, I trimmed the original shield and secured it to the frame with body panel screws. I'm very pleased with the result; it may even look better than the factory setup. I'll let you be the judge of that.Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this bumper. Its quality, ease of installation, and functionality far exceeded my initial expectations. I highly recommend it!

This is a great looking bumper, but there were a couple of issues installing:1) The line up of the holes was extremely tight on one side. I finally got enough bolts sticking through that I could I was able to slowly force the bumper in place by tightening the bolts. It will be hell to remove. Had this not worked, I would have had to drill out 4 holes to allow the bumper to slide on.2) The instructions for wiring were very sketchy. I reused the existing wiring harness. The instructions show that you hook black to existing black and red to existing red, however, there were no red wires on the existing jeep harness, only a black and a white with a stripe on each side. I just hooked the black to existing black and the red to the existing white wires and the lights worked fine. The instructions should be corrected to clarify this issue.3) The instructions tell you that if you are installing a winch, you will need to remove the frame cover. Unlike what the instructions lead you to believe, the frame cover must be removed and cannot be left in place. The bumper will not fit if the cover is left in place. The two plastic pins holding it in place can easily be removed with a 1/4" drill bit.4) As others have noted in the reviews, one end of the bumper had poked through the packaging and was exposed so that it could have been damaged, fortunately, mine had no damage. Nilight should correct this with more reliable protection.Despite these issues, this was good deal and I highly recommend this to any Jeep owner that wants a competitively priced bumper.

Just installed the rear bumper yesterday. Removing the old one was the hardest part, ton of bolts, have a breaker bar to help. Also an impact gun for the tow hook is very helpful. My bumper came packed with all hardware and bolted right up, no modifications needed. In Hawaii you need to have a safety check sticker on the bumper so I had to drill some holes in the middle to mount my safety check plate. That was probably the hardest thing to do. I haven’t gotten the lights hooked up yet, ordered a relay kit and switch so hopefully they will be running soon. It’s a solid bumper, just wish the screws weren’t gold. I’ll pick up some matte black paint and get that taken care of later.Update 8/21Finally hooked up the lights. I plan on getting a pod system eventually so I didn’t really hard wire the lights. I ordered some 14 gauge sae extension wires and a sae to 12volt lighter wire. I also got a thing that turns your lighter into 3 outlets and it has switches to turn each one on and off. The lights run about 40 watts combined and the lighter has a 20amp fuse built in. Also the the lighter outlet has its own 15 amp fuse built in so I didn’t need to get an external fuse. Ran the wires up into the passenger tail light and then under the carpet all the way to under the passenger seat. It comes up right into the lighter socket. I can turn it on and off from the center console and nothing is hard wired. They are pretty blinding cause they kind of angle upward but they shoot a whole lot of light. I originally plugged them into the 12volt in the back of the Jeep but that would suck to get out every time I wanted to turn them on so ran it up front instead. It works well and took only about an hour to wire up. I wanted this configuration in case I needed the lights for camping, I can plug it into my Jackery and not use the Jeep battery.

Rear bumper shipped fast, instructions are a little vague, finding a good You Tube video helps with installation, overall, pretty easy to install. Bumper seems solid, lights are bright. Seems to be a good bumper so far, well see how it pulls my little camper.

Had to fight it to get on. After an hour, I won. Hooked up the lights without installing a resistor, as most people suggested. They work fine. Overall, I am happy with the install.
