tbh that looks like it was just painted and not powder coated, maybe it's my eyesAll over the main piece of it. I was cleaning it up to get a better look at things.. some of it's a bit hard to see because of the water, but these pics give a general Idea, rust popping up through the powder coat all over.
I thought I saw on the website that it was limited to 90 degree opening.After a long search and debate, I went with the Steelcraft Fortis rear bumper.
The finish:
Well bulit, I like the rounded look and bulit in license plate. It definitely look like it belongs and not just a bolt on....
The Fit:
Unfortunately the door just barely clears when its fully open. That's after shimming with a washer. I guess I better get one those door restrictors
Might also be that it was still wet from the water .. and that it's thin .. definitely a powder coat though.
Nice! Question on the S8 - I'm considering one of these on a winch fairlead mount. I'm trying to determine the light output and it's hard to tell from your pics - looks like it's aimed high. Is the light output worth the expense?Added the Bronco Dual Baja Designs Capable Bumper Fog Light Kit from SPV Parts:

Company was nice to work with. Helped me with light choices, gave me a good Memorial Day sale price, and helped me with an install question after I received them.
I ended up with the BD amber SAE fogs that I attached to Fog light switch, and BD Sport wide cornering that I attached to an Aux switch.
Here are some pics with results:

It is aimed a little high because of the way I had to mount onto the bumper. I can't aim it lower without cutting the plastic trim piece. It works great when in tight spaces (like trees) and it being a little bit higher than headlight height is actually nice visually. In open space, it needs to be aimed lower. That will be fixed with a new bumper hopefully in the near future. Here is the output specs:
Oh, I must have missed that...I did get a door limiter and have it set at 110°
Not that easy by yourself unless you have the door bags. Just be patient and take care.
First few times always seem like a pain, but it gets easier. There’s a little pointy thingy in the tool kit the you can screw into the bottom hinge bolt hole that you may find helpful . Tried it a few times, but don’t use it anymore. Just make certain you have the window down, if not, door becomes very unbalanced and unwieldy and much harder to get back on.
