I know you used the Rugged Ridge Spartan front bumper. Have you had any issues with it like I mentioned above, with bolting on the blue ox brackets causing the bumper to deform, or powder coat to peel off?

I will be curious to hear how your experience goes with the Cooltech harness with a JK model, as I am really on the fence still as far as what to do with the tail light wiring. Really leaning toward separate bulbs, but we'll see.
So far no issues with any deforming. I made sure my bolts were torqued and no movement. But I will keep checking and if I do I'll post up, net trip out is in a few weeks. IMHO the bumper shouldn't be an issues the bolts are holding the brackets on, the bumper is just sandwiched in between. But I can see if the bumper gets hit or moved, or if it wasn't fully tight I suppose.
The 2nd bulbs wasn't an option for me as I swapped my rear tail lights with a new LED fixture (which I love as they are much brighter and better reverse lights)
