Vince Greva's Reviews

Price: $900.00 Pros: Great fit, hugs close to the body, stronger that the front end of a speeding Honda Accord. Holds up to a 37 inch tire, has racks for storage above the tire. Gas can and water holders as well as a shovel and axe holder Cons: None Recommended? Yes
Comments: If you're looking for the rear bumper that does it all...look no further. I got rear ended by a speeding Honda and the bumper held up really well, just some minor scratches. The Honda was toast.

Price: $1.00 Pros: Solid
Smooth operation
Doesn't rattle Cons: A little surface rust on the swing-out hinge that I'll be sanding down and painting. Recommended? Yes
Comments: The screw-in mechanism for securing the tire carrier to the bumper can be tedious for some. I like that it eliminates any rattles, but it makes getting in through the tailgate tedious. I'd buy it again.
The rack that mounts over the tire carrier is great...you don't realize what you're missing until you get one. The gas can rack is handy too.

Price: $450.00 Pros: Very solid construction. Rated for towing. Excellent powdercoat. Cons: Supplied grade 5 hardware and the D-ring tabs are not welded through. Per the instructions they are not to be used for recovery? WTF? Recommended? Yes
Comments: Very soild build quaility. Fit and finish are top notch. The plethora of accessories is nothing short of spectacular (and more costly). One of the few items I've purchased for my Jeep where everything fit without having to modify it first. Mine did include frame tie-ins but are not as sturdy as the Rockmen tie-ins.
I was very disapointed to find the D-ring tabs are not welded through and are not to be used for recovery. Garvin says the tabs are there to mount a safety chain while towing and a receiver shackle mount should be used for recovery. Which is fine but really seems odd compared to every other bumper on the market. D-ring tabs are not the usual way to mount a safety chain to a hitch. The grade 5 hardware was also a major let down. I replaced it all with grade 8.

Pros: Front bumper very easy to install Cons: Rear bumper a lot harder to install, and requires drilling. Shackle tabs only welded to outer face of bumper. Recommended? Yes
Comments: 2003 Wrangler SE.
When I bought these, I wanted both bumpers with 2" hitch receptacles.
I ordered both from Rusty's who had the best price.
The front bumper bolted right on and did not interfere with the Warn steering box skid at all. Very easy.
The rear bumper required careful drilling of the frame crossmember. Getting four of the eight bolts started in the supplied nut plates was almost impossible. Took me hours.
The shackle tabs do not go through the bumper with welds back and front. They are just welded to the front of the bumpers
Garvin does not supply frame tie-ins with their rear bumper. I added a set from Rokmen later.
Overall quality is very good.
