    To clarify... that eBay bumper was removed from my truck within 3 weeks of owning and sold to a guy who owns a 2011. I now have a brute force front. These bumpers don't fit 12+ models without a lot of cutting. Unless they changed something.

    Thanks for chiming in. I thought that was the case, but didn't want to say without being sure. Personally I don't think anyone 12+ should run this bumper.

    The only information you really need out of this thread was from one of the All-Pro peeps:

    "**I haven't read this thread in its entirety, so if this has been said already, please forgive the redundancy.

    I did some research and found the following:
    • Cole McMath has a customer history with us
    • The manufacturer of these All-Pro knock offs on Ebay is KO Offroad
    • Robert McMath owns the KO Offroad website
    • The admin of the site is listed as steve@DV8offroad
    • "A" Cole is the contact person at DV8 Offroad
    We called a couple of our friends that manufacture Jeep bumpers and their designs have also been knocked off by DV8 and KO Offroad (probably stands for knockoff offroad). We are told they are primarily made in China.
    I believe the OP is Cole McMath, related to Robert McMath, that they reverse engineered our bumpers and are having them made in China. Once we get our hands on a bumper, we will know for sure.

    It makes me sad that American ingenuity is gone and people cannot just design and market their own products. We have worked for over 20 years through thick and thin in this business, and for better or worse, we work hard to be the best company we can be. People and companies like this just seek to destroy our hard work. :mad:"

    Yes, but you have to cut some notches for the AC line.
    Overall fitment has also been an issue, may need to ream out the holes. But that's for all years.

    I put the bumper on mine and I have an updated 2012 front end. If you have a cutoff wheel and a grinder than this bumper is a great buy. I'm happy with it. A small notch needed cut where the AC line is. Other then that I did some trimming and fitting to make sure it looked good and fit perfect. The bumper gets knocked on a lot by forum members, but it really isn't bad at all. I've got tons of pictures. If you would like to see any more just let me know.

    I get asked multiple times a week about my bumper and where I got it. Even had people try to buy it off me in parking lots IMG_4633.jpg

    That looks really good. Nice looking truck. Thanks for the non dumbass reply. Not sure why folks feel the need to do that.

    Unfortunately you will see replies like that on any forum. I even see stuff like that on the corvetteforum every once in awhile, but not as frequently. People are quick to voice their own opinions. Good luck! If you even have minor abilities to work with metal this is a great purchase. Call the eBay seller and he will give you a discount on the bumper from the price shown on eBay.

    I am an Ironworker by trade. I have a half finished bumper that I have been chipping away at, but with 2kids, dogs, wife and job it is hard to find time to work on that kind of stuff. Buying one is currently way easier. IMG_0346.jpg
