Anyone running this? Pics would be great as I couldn’t find any. Options are more limited as I want a receiver for carrying a cargo carrier during hunting season. Also looking at the Barnes. Any other options out there?
Anyone Running This Genright Low Profile Rear Bumper?

The genright bumper does not wrap around the bottom of the cross member and is not a good design. If you like this style of a minimal bumper, look at Swag off road or Next Venture. See @jjvw's build thread for a great discussion on bumpers. He can also tell you more about this

Genright is not far from me. Lots of guys in one of the clubs I used to roll with were employees. Very knowledgeable and friendly guys. Take themselves way too seriously. 
Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of their stuff from a design perspective. As a former CAD designer I can appreciate their work. No better roll cage in my eyes but pricey, though. As stated above, the minimal bumper is very much that; minimal.
Sorry, no pics for you. I have a Garvin rear bumper/tire carrier with hitch, Nth Degree armor, and Poison Spyder rails for protection.
I know you didn't post asking for opinions on Genright bumpers.

Opinions are great. It’s a small chunk of money but it’s still money so I’ll take any advice given. I’ve always thought their prices was about 25% higher than it should be but their quality is top notch from everything I’ve seen and read.
GR's version with the hitch looks like it is fully wrapped.
Other options are Swag and Next Venture.
Mine is the regular NV with a hitch recessed into the frame crossmember. Your normal options stick out another 2".

That makes even less sense about the regular version given that they know and understand how a bumper like that needs to be made.

Thanks for the pics. I’ll check that one out for sure. Looks like that’ll suit my desires just fine.
Side note: when your slow moving vehicle decal looks full size, does that mean I’m too close? Lol
Looking more closely, I see that the outside bottom edges are still open, so they stuck to their guns a bit.
I bought the smallest reflective sticker I could find and then cut it up to be even smaller.
It does now. They updated the design for version 2 with the receiver.
OP
Running something like that from Rustys (I think) without the tube and receiver. Just the plate and recovery points. I drive an LJ so wanted as little as possible hanging off the back screwing up my departure angle.
OP
It would be much simpler if I didn’t have a need for a receiver. But when it comes to hunting season, I need my cargo rack
