Re: Olympic bumper experiences??
 

I've got the shorter olympic bumpers w/2" receiver hitch (powder
coated models) on front and back of my 99 TJ. I really like them. Had
them about 3 years.
The rear was the first one I put on and at that time, I had a problem
with the drilling instructions accuracy but I understand they fixed
that. I had no problems at all with the front bumper.

I've got one of their rear bumpers on my Jeep, and it seems to do its
job just fine. The powdercoating hasn't held up worth a damn though. I
want to go to a beefier bumper with a swing-out rack, but that isn't a
fault of the olympic bumper.

You should also look into the "rockproof" series of bumper from M.O.R.E.
which holds the winch in much the same way as the olympic bumper. It
doesn't have the receiver underneath the bumper, but it does include two
shackle points as standard. One possible drawback is the fact that it
ships unpainted but that was actually a plus since I planned to weld my
own winch gaurd bar on. It turned out pretty good.

Re: Olympic bumper experiences??
 

I too have had the front and rear Olympic rock bumpers with 2" hitch
receiver for several years. Great product, but go with the gloss
paint. The textured black coat does not hold up as well, especially in
Minnesota winters!

I really like my Rock Bumper w/trailer hitch. Solid and the finish appears
durable.
