    I just ordered mine.

    Of course, just to be different I'm going to weld a plate to it to mount my license plate on it. We'll see how that goes.

    Looking at their site.....I wonder how good the Bumper Shield XL is.

    Sue, is the SuperBumper easy to remove if I needed to use my clevis shackle insert?

    Takes 2 seconds..just unlock & remove the hitch pin, then pull it out. It weighs around 15 lbs.

    Yes, that's correct, I got "SPAREBUMPER Model SP318 - Black".

    Forgot to mention, he threw in a free chrome locking hitch pin so call or email him and ask for it. (Tom, call them and ask for the free hitch pin).
    The president, Jeff Mohr, is very responsive to emails and you actually get a response from him...(I know this cuz I also spoke with him by phone).

    KAT, I ordered the 424 so as soon as it arrives, I'll get some pix loaded for comparison.

    Jeff offered me a free locking pin too but since I already had one, I told him not to bother. He's supposed to throw in an extra set of those rubber thinggies to protect your license plate though.

    IMHO, the bumper shield is gonna get caught on rocks-n-stuff too much for you to use it off road to protect you arse cladding.

    Actually, I hadn't even seen that on the website....sounds really good for off road. I want something to take the hit and scraping instead of the rear cladding or gas skid plate. It weighs 2 lbs MORE than the bumper! It must be a good chunk of metal.
    I think I'm goin' get me one of these!
