I've been looking for the Rubicon rear steel bumper but they are rare in Iowa. There was one - sold quickly......... I've been watching CL, FB marketplace, whatever, no luck.
Last guy I contacted about one for sale - "sorry, it's sold" just like that. But then, there aren't many Rubicon Gladiators around here, either - most are Mojave or Sport or HA - dealer I got my JT from said the high altitude go pretty quickly and when I looked I didn't see any Rubicons parked out front.
Stumbled upon your post, and I know it probably doesn’t help much, but I ordered from a local dealer and got it in 2 weeks. I haggled on the price and got a decent deal (just ordered a 23 JLU in Earl from them).

Today's mod was the Alpine SPV-65-JLT soundbar speaker upgrade. After removing the factory speakers from the soundbar (premium sound system) one can really see the difference in the overall quality of the upgrades. If anyone is on the fence, I recommend it. Yes, a bit intimidating at first because once you commit to the install, there is no turning back due to the cuts. I just used a body saw and sliced it out. I must say that there is quite a difference in clarity and deeper lows. After about 100 hours of break in time the sound should be where I want it.

Props go out to Jeepmonster for the help on this one!

Looks great, and I bet the sound quality is just as good. I'm waiting on a few parts to change the dash/knee speakers. Installing the bed outlet kit while I have the dash apart. Stay tuned...

Installed the knee speakers with Metra Box's , {Installed sound detening inside them and with some Poly-Fil } with 6.5" Cerwin Vega V465 2 way coaxial speakers. I will say the RH side was pretty easy ... Man that LH side is a BI%@H ! Trying to get it in I managed to brake off the upper mount and after securing the other two mounts seems to stay in place just fine with out to much movement . And a side note here the adapter cables to plug into the factory wiring was reverse polarity so I had to remove the wires out of the hard shell and reverse them. Sounds great ! Now I have Cerwin Vega speakers though out the Jeep.. sound system done for now . Oh and had the two front windows tinted yesterday ..
