Looks bad, and cheap. Worse combination, Cheap and good is great, Expensive and bad is insulting, cheap and bad is disgraceful. The OEM bumper looks better IMO.

Good look or no?

no

If its for mall crawling and you like it go for it. That being said there are a few companies that make nice bumpers between $300-$400. Buy once cry once

When modifying your Jeep, the only thing that matters is that YOU LIKE IT. That's like posting a pic of your wife and asking if everyone thinks she's hot.
p.s. I avoid anything made in China if possible.

I love these mopar aev bumpers but from what I understand they are rare to find and expensive. I’m surprised no one is remaking these to sell. Seems like a simple build if you can weld.

Cheap Chinese trash.

 

[Hopper]

That thing will most likely start rusting out within a yr

Hard to beat a stock bumper with no milk jugs and a winch plate Lightest cheapest option for sure. Only other option for me would be a Flux Offroad front bumper.

I am not surprised that no one is reproducing that Mopar/ AEV bumper

So that bumper is absolutely NOT my taste, but you gotta look over your shoulder and like what you see, so.. do you on that one.
There, I said it.

I don't own any one the Hooke Road products. I have not come across a single review of anything Hooke Road that was positive. Most mention missing parts, crappy welds, poor fit, thin materials and flaky powder coat.

I have purchased Hooke items for my interior, I like what I bought. I would put them more in the Cosmetic category for accessories, definitely something I would not want on the Jeep exterior if robust/ body protection is the goal.

Factory bumper with a light bar and winch plate is clean look… I went a little different path.

Odd place to have a yard sale

+1 to the warns. Took me two years to find and get my matching set.

And for the eagle eyed reader, the camera wire below the bumper was just during camera centering.
