I think it looks pretty solid, which is the most important thing if it is used as a rear recovery point. Those gaps below the tail lights are there to keep the flexing from breaking the lenses of the lights.

I think the bumper is very nice, however it is too short and too narrow for your Jeep. It would look better on a TJ. But I'm talking about looks not function.

This is mine. It is tucked up closer than yours, so I can add a spare tire swing out on it down the road. I brought the ends in towards the body just outside of the mounts. I put the receiver hitch in flush, it's all about approach and departure angles for the kind of wheeling I dig!!

Well...aren't you special!!

JK!! LOL!!

Yeah, I might do that down the road, but I honestly don't get stuck too often, so it's a little ways down the list. Plus, I don't do mud, so if I get stuck, I'm in the rocks, and there are "usually" multiple directions, and people to go with for extractions.

How far does the bumper sit from tail light face? (out side face of bumper)

How far down is the top of the bumper from the bottom edge of tail light?
