Ive got one. Its not bad. Finish isnt the best, and there are a few rust spots. I got backed into by a cement truck and it held up fairly well.
All in all, I dont regret buying it. However, I'm still in the market for another bumper and this one isnt good enough to keep my from buying an oem...

Just a reflection. I've had no rubbing with it in two years. Only "issue" is that the trail rail doesnt allow it to snap into the bed by the cab, so its velcroed there. No big deal really, but snaps would have been the better option.
I also no longer velcro over the tailgate. Havent had any...
