The bumper didn’t have any instructions or angles marked for how much to bend. So i just had to guess. But it turned out sooo good and i love the slim look it doesn’t hang down far like most bumpers.

Went together really easy and I’m very happy with them, only thing I would say is that I wish they followed the outer line of the stock fender better.

The tray itself is fantastic but the hold down leaves a bit to be desired. As others have said the hold down itself rubes the upper radiator hose. This could be fixed on DBOs side of things by either getting rid of the logo completely or moving it to the top of the battery (mechanics perspective). Also, as others have said, the all-thread comes pretty mangled and requires grinding, filing or chasing to get the ends back in shape so that the provided nuts will thread on. So overall a decent product that could be great with a couple small changes on DBOs side of things.
Battery Tray Bolt-InGood quality and design. One suggestion would be to slightly roll body curve in flat body section for better fit.
Full Set Steel Fender Armor & Flares, Front and RearRock solid after some slight clearancing of the legs to fit around an electrical connector. Thumbs up!
Center Console Bracket (1997–2001)Easy install, looks great after painted. Some of the welds were sloppy, but not doesn’t affect functionality.

Could maybe use some Instructions that label each piece a little easier. Instead of guessing what goes where. Overall I’m happy with it. Thanks guys.
DIY Stump Winch BumperGreat upgrade. Would have liked 3/8” or 5/16” all thread included vs the 1/4” it came with.
Battery Tray Bolt-InQuality of material and fabrication is honestly second to none! Very happy with the overall package. Its the best looking XJ bumper available. My only gripe is that there is little to no side to side adjustment when mounting. Mine is about 3/16" to one side and there isnt any wiggle room in the mounting brackets. Still looks great and Im happy overall.

DIY Mojave Rear Bumper Cut & FoldThe material is very good but the Battery Hold Down Bolts dosen't work for me is to much time put it on an off each time you have to change the battery I have to buy other style from auto zone more practical

Construction is solid. Holes don't line up so it's not bolt in ready. I have a 98 xj. Had to notch out part of the frame to line up all six nuts/bolts. If you don't have the tools could be a pain. Other than that rear bumper is much more solid after the install.
Rear Bumper BraceBumper is a great looking design and deserves 4 stars. However, NONE of the supplied hardware worked. Bumper to frame bolts were too big and bumper to bumper bracket were all to big so I had to go out and get all new hardware. The welds are a 4/5 given that some of the non-visible backside welds looked perfect and some were not but still acceptable structurally. The visible welds near the license plate area were same as the lesser backside welds but not what I would consider acceptable for a Class A surface area. Thirdly, the LED pod holes were TIGHT, each POD would sit 1/4"-3/8" of an inch from flush and I had to pound them in with my fists to make them fit (whether this is an LED pod specific thing or not I do not know).
Manta Ray Rear BumperIt is a simple design that does what it's supposed to but the only thing that I have to say negative about it is that it didnt come with any kind of hardware witch isnt rely to big of deal but the holes were not perfect circles and the switches that I baught off of the dirtbound sight rely didnt seem to want to click in I havnt completley installed this this is just my first impression of the product other than that it seems like it will work good for what I'm doing
Ashtray Switch Panel, 5-Hole (1997–2001)The fit wasn't that great. It needed some trimming and adjustment. I don't know how different these jeeps are from the manufacturer though.
Center Console Bracket (1997–2001)Very bad instructions but I love the bumper it’s exactly what I was looking for my jeep
