    Just got my front bumper from Body Armor. Not happy bad welding, weld slag, sharp edges.
    And they tell me that's how they come. Anyone else have this problem.

    I have the front bumper and have written them to complain about the shoddy powder coating. My front and rear bumpers from them appeared to have excellent welds, uniform shape and excellent fitment. The roller fairlead assembly is from Smitty and was installed the same day as the bumper (last July); it’s obviously in much better shape (looks new) so provides a perfect comparison. 5127D84B-3BD5-4484-92F7-4F4ADBBB313C.jpg EA769562-837C-44CC-A082-D96C6ECA9209.jpg 3EC5DF94-CEDA-4405-95E0-10ECC25F2B73.jpg
    While I like the look and all else about both bumpers I’d have to advise to stay away from the longer term headache.
