Also a lot cheaper and lighter than a steel bull bar
Well, its nice to see they did fit.....I was sure they would.
If you want an American spec bumper, I doubt any authority here would know it wasn't the original bumper. I know a guy who regularly ships from LA to Sydney, sea freight containers......you pay the customs fee and freight...if your value is less than $1000, you don't pay GST or Duty. Stock bumpers must be cheap as chips in the US. If it's 2nd hand, there may be an AQIS fee.....though how cool would a new Rubicon X front bumper be?



Let me know if I can help
