After you install it you most likely will be buying another pipe cuz the aluminum they use is cheap and you will most likely blow a hole in it. Now really how good can a $49 or $32 pipe really be?

I have one of those pipes on my DR, it's steel not alloy.It's a good pipe for the price.To make it fit i had to grind a little from the shock mount in the middle,bend the support bracket so it would bolt onto the rear of the chassis, drill a new hole to bolt the rear bumper, turn the rear bumper/wing supports upside down & remove part of the rear rollcage/wing support.

It's been done but I don't know if modding is required. Looks like it would melt the cage.

Be careful how much and where you mod the rear of the cage and rear bumper, it provides structural support to the rear of the chassis where the rear diff is mounted. When the cage is off you can flex this area easily by hand. Could be a problem coming off a big jump and landing on the rear if the support isn't there.

I am hopping the new rear mount Jetpro has a decent bumper.

A lot of people will fab a metal bumper for support when installing a pipe designed for a different platform.
