Anyone running this bumper? Would love to hear feedback. I like the clearance of it, look, and that stock sensors/hooks can work with it.

Comes bare metal.. A local shop says it will be 150 to powder coat

Also just realized they're a local Utah shop so I can save on shipping by picking it up

For the 900 plus 150 for powdercoat if you want to actually protect the bed sides you have to keep using your factory sliders which kinda stick out. Your at 1050 anyway & the Expedition one with the bed side protection also made in Utah is 1250. I personally feel like its much better looking because the side protection is integrated & you can dump the tube thingys.

Emphasis mine, this is why I'll probably end up with the Rock Hard bumper if Victory doesn't do bedside protection on their modular bumper. The Rubicon protection isn't bad but integrating it with the bumper adds additional attachment points that really add strength.

Rugged ridge told me they wild have theirs out in July or August and confirmed the wrap around protection as well as having integrated corner steps. I’m note waiting till then before I get anything for the tear on mine. Given there Normal price if it comes with those features and doesn’t look cobbled together it’ll be the winner for me.
