    Only minor differences between the 2..ebay bumper has 2 holes for lights and does not included them, DV8 bumper has 4 holes and includes the lights. Haven't personal called and spoken the either just an observation.

    Just got this bumper fully installed and finished. (like 2 weeks ago)

    It came with no damage except for a tiny scuff on the front, however I was getting my 5100s with Ome 886s installed and the guy driving it back in scraped the wall so that is what you see on the left.

    It came with the D-rings, but no A/C notch. Ive heard of some having it so I was expecting one but my friend and I just notched it ourselves. It also came with a different finish than he had; almost like a scaly kind of paint... kinda odd.
    Just ordered auxbeam 4" lights for the holes and should be getting a light bar for the top.

    Overall, if you are in the process of searching for a bumper, this is a great choice. You can install it without any professional help, and with a couple of tools. I had to remove and re install the sway bar bushings in order to fit the bottom on but pretty easy for someone like me with not much experience at all. PLEASE call the customer service number on ebay and ask if you could come pick it up because I could have saved $300 like that. They just give it to you for $200 there. That's how my friend got his. The bumper gave me hella clearance and paired with my new suspension feels and performs nicely. It is just heavy enough to soften 886s for a nice off-road ride. great purchase in my book and I will be using it until I decide to switch it for a skid.

    If anyone can help me, I have no pre-made bracket things or anything for that matter where the light bar is supposed to fit up top, just the little holes that extend off the top of the bar. What is the best process to mount a light bar in this area? How should I go about doing that? Thank you so much

    I put a 21" single row inside the hoop of mine. Had to drill holes for the brackets that came with the bar, yours should come with brackets as well.
    I hate it being on the outside of the bumper, but I don't hate it as much if it was on the bar tabs.

    Buy a light bar with adjustable sliding mounts side to side to put it where you want it. A 20 fit on top perfect for me

    I had a special connection with the eBay bumper.

    It’s lighter, fits more lights, and I honestly like the look better.

    Not without modification. You'll need a u bolt, flat bar, and hardware.

    My OCD wouldn't let me put a square/rectangular light in a round hole. I bought the ones the bumper company sells from Amazon for $55 from a different vendor.

    Same. I found some Nilight 4.5" round lights. But, the mount tabs inside the bumper are a channel and the brackets for the lights won't fit inside it. Needs cut down to fit, easy job, just haven't done it yet.
