Rear bumper with integrated hitch

I'm not seeing it. Here's what I'm seeing . . .

I have been lurking on Dirtworx site since this thread was created. I was surprised to see the price, I was expecting much higher. For a combined $300 you can get both a front and back. I'm certainly making this purchase, but that's after already spending $400 on Chinese Smittybilt junk. Lesson learnt!

The front bumper with the hoops is $200.00, that is amazing also. I also expected that price to be higher. I have not read any thread where someone who got Dirtworx bumpers was disappointed in any way. Also, I think finishing them yourself, either with paint or bedliner material of some sort, makes it much easier to touch up dings to the finish.

I also had Smittybilt front and back bumpers on my previously owned TJ X, and they were fine for what I used them for. They fit, the finish was good, I really had no complaints. Considering comparably set up Dirtworx bumpers, front and rear, are $$379 (with shipping) though, there is no question of which to go with.
 
Tried to post a site with more photos, didn't work...

Ha... Oh man, I should just make a sticky about this (and I will).

Anyways, for some reason or another Jeep Forum and Wrangler Forum made it so that if anyone uses a link to this site on one of their sites, it censors it out.

I don't know why they did this (it's a pretty petty and immature move), but I figured if they did it to me, I'll do it to them. It's cyber warfare!

Many commercial websites do that. It's like Von's Grocery Stores wouldn't allow a banner inside their stores referring them to Food Giant Grocery Stores. :)
 
There are a number of large retailers that do everything they can legally to deprecate data access across cell networks while in their facility to get people to leverage their in house wifi so it's easier to traffic steer you when you comparison shop while in their store.

I totally get that. But for instance, I've seen links on Jeep Forum and Wrangler forum that go to jk-forum.com.

Unless maybe they own that forum too? I know they own a ton of forums.

Which is funny because Eddie at jk-forum will drop the ban hammer on anyone for even making a veiled reference about another site or a product not paying him a kick-back or advertising on his site.

Seriously? Sheesh... Seems like some of these forums are being run by dictators.

Part of me gets it. I mean if it's a blatant advertisement that's one thing. However, if it's just a link to something like a "how-to" article, I see no harm in that.
 
Have any of y'all heard from Ground Pounder fab in a while?

I know he sold his shop and all. But, I need a rear bumper as well, and I have a Ground Pounder front bumper that I love and wish I had the rear-version of it.

I've got GPF front and rear bumpers. I contacted Eddie a few years ago to get a couple accessories and he gave me the contact number of the guy that bought him out. The new owner wants nothing to do with making any other bumpers or accessories, even though he has all of the plans and jigs.

Pffft, well then. So no more Ground Pounder fab?
