I just got my Rampage Recovery Front Bumper (with stinger) and thought I would give you guys my initial thoughts. First of all the package came very quickly from 4wd and it was packed very securely. The box was 79lbs, this included the bumper and the two D rings. So the bumper weighs about 75 pounds. I took the stock bumper off my 01 wrangler and tried to mount the rampage. Unfortunately I was only able to put the two top bolts on. No matter how I positioned it I couldn't get the two bottom holes to line up, even though the bumper has multiple mounting holes. Maybe this is because my jeep is the 60th anniversary edition and it built is a little different (anyone else have this problem?). Fortunately this looks like it can be fixed with an easy drill into my frame. Other than the above problem I am very pleased with the look and feel of the bumper. When my winch plate comes I will let you know how my warn m8000 installation goes. One side note, the stinger has two light tabs on the top. I wasn't expecting the tabs because it has the integrated light holes and it doesn't mention them in the product description, but I was happy to find them, you can never have too many lights. Just thought I would give a little review since I couldn't find any before I bought it. I will post again when its all finished.
