I've set my mind on that bumper now. I've been eyeballing it for a while, but not really ever seen it on a jeep til now. It's bad ***.

Yeah I did. Worked out pretty damn good with the way their bumper mounts. Very sturdy. the m.o.r.e. brace I had before won't work anymore though unless I shortened it. But i'm happy with the TNT setup

Its an inner steering box brace. Replaces the factory aluminum one. Bolts to outer bumper bracket.
