The RH4x4 Mid width is on my short list of candidates. I will be waiting for install pics!! Did you go with the steel or aluminum? What are you doing for fog lights?

I am using the fogs that are on my Rubicon bumper now...stock ones. I went with the aluminum as I am going to put a winch on it and wanted to save weight....hopefully will install tomorrow evening or Sunday. Sort of up in the air as my wife’s mother is in the hospital.

Thanks. That’s the same one I want for the same reason. The only thing I don’t like about the RH bumpers are the silver bolt heads thru the front of the bumper. I wish it bolted on from the rear and the front was cleaner looking.

I’m sorry but whoever designed that had no idea of the meaning symmetrical. Why is the RH 4x4 off to the side in no mans land? At least center it or don’t put it on there.

photos are fine but designed objects look terrible especially this bumper with writing.

Fairly straight forward install. The fog light wiring in the factory plastic bumper took longer to “dig” out than expected and two bolt holes had to be tried up on the frame ends to get the larger bolts through the hole. Other than that very easy install. Here are some night pics. Will have to get daytime pics later.

Next I have some Shrockworks rock slider / steps on order and I will need to decide what winch.

W hat diameter is the grill guard? It looks kinda small in relation to the beefy bumper, are there tabs welded to it for lights ?

You mentioned above that you had the plastic oem bumper. I was curious if this Rock Hard bumper allows the skid plate to stay on?

I know the bumper kinda has its own skid plate just curious if the factory one could be tucked under/behind it? Or is the oem definitely not needed?

I'm planning on painting the bolt heads, or something.
