    SO, I bought this '12 unlimited and really have been wanting to put on one of those Mopar Off Road (non-winch) bumpers...for 3 reasons, I think it looks good, it is available without winch cut-outs and its relatively cheap. The dealership said they have been on back order for some time. I lucked up and found "new" ones on eBay for sale. I just got it today, but it was missing all the mounting hardware and the plastic caps that go over the crush cans. I'm still trying to get the seller on the phone...buy anyway, my point is; I called my local Dodge place to see if I could order parts of that bumper. I was told no and that Mopar has discontinued the whole line because the company that was making them went bankrupt. I did some checking and Rugged Ridge advertises the same bumper without the jeep or Mopar logo. Rugged Ridge is the wrangler line of parts from Omix -Ada. I wonder if Omix went bankrupt or that was a 3rd company?

    Probably a third company. I believe omix just puts their name on other manufacturers stuff and resells. People often badmouth omix because of cheaply made non USA goods, but I've seen their name on USA stuff. That's too bad about your mopar bumper experience. I put them on my wife's jk, and they look great. The prices were in line or even less than other manufacturers. I got a front, rear, and tire carrier for $1500 2 years ago.
