    It’s a good bumper. Very solid and easy install. I’ve had it for a few years and the powder coat is starting to rust in some areas which is disappointing, but I live in the Midwest so it’s covered in salt for months out of the year. Prob has a lot to do with it

    @@timbear3175 Glad to hear it. I pulled the trigger and ordered it along with their front bumper. Living in New England I’ll probably have the same problem with rust. Might have to take it off and powder coated every 5 years or so.

    Thanks for the review this helps, I’m considering a front and back steel bumper that’s on eBay for around 1500. And front is not lopro but a full length one.

    I think I had to add one or 2, can’t remember for sure tho. They stack to you can get the bumper as tight to the panel lines and tail gate as possible. They give you plenty with the pumper also

    I’ll make another review this spring once we are out of the winter season completely. But so far so good. No first signs of rust. It’s been covered in salt for over 2 months and it’s holding up good. I really don’t have anything bad to say about it yet. We’ll see what it looks like when I give it a bath and take a closer look

    My truck is a 2017 with a backup camera, no special mirrors so I’ve had no issues. I do know this bumper comes with the sensor holes for the newer 3rd gen models, so I would assume it would be compatible with any of the newer accessories and cameras, but I can’t say for sure.

    Had it for a few years now. Still solid and no issues structurally. The paint/finish on it is starting to corrode and rust a little in some areas, but nothing major. My truck is covered in salt for 3 months out of the year from winter, so that has a lot to do with it I’m sure. Prob will sand it and paint it flat black when it starts to become more noticeable. Aside from that, no complaints. Held up good

    2017s don’t have backup sensors stock. This bumper does have pre drilled holes for factory sensors if your truck has them. They’re the small little circles you see on the bumper.
