in my opinion, its good looking and strong, and works well.
I have a smitty built front bar, sliders and rear bar, good quality product

There seems to be a reputation on the US forums for smittybilt...commonly referred to as shittybilt

I had their rear bar on my TJ and now have rocker guards on my JK, I love the look of their stuff, but its seems the ability to manufacture products where the holes line up with where they're supposed to has been overlooked....

I'm running a front and rear bar/tyre carrier and a soft top and have had no dramas at all with any of the products!!!!
Decent quality at a decent price

I just sold a SRC front bumper from my car, $100 haha. Some guy is gonna try to make it fit his jackaroo! But I have the XRC front bumper, rock sliders and rear bar with tyre carrier. All awesome products in my opinion. I did get a mate to spray them gloss black instead of the matt black they come in before installing them though. Check out jeepkonection.com.au thats where i bought all my smittybilt gear. Cheapest I could find
