Ok, here's what I have found out about it.  They're for the military.  The rear is a D60.  They couldn't get the spring rate high enough with the short coils so they went back to leafs.

Too bad they are 'Export Only' for now.  They are being built for the Israel Defense Forces as well as the Egyptian Army.

to bad those tires look way weirs than the stocker jk tires (at least for the rubis) and the back bumper makes it look like it has a bad body lift.

Well, they aren't testing the tires so they aren't going to put Rubi tires or wheels on them.  Not to mention, this is a Military application and will most liekly use steel wheels and probably some standardized tires (ie. small tires)

The issue with the rear bumper is because it's a black JK.  Look at the green one.  There is no gap between the top of the frame and the body.  The gap you are seeing is because the bumper sits away from the frame and the end of the body.  I kinda like that C channel rear bumper.  Looks pretty tough.

ic... the unlimited green jk without the back doors looks weird because its so long but has no back doors.

Makes you wonder if the wheels are still 15 or 16 or 17" size with 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.

Here are some 'export' TJs from the Camp Jeep trip.



Notice the similar rear bumper?

That's actually a TJ-L for the Egyptian Army.  I think they bought around 9000 of them.  The wheels are no doubt 5 on 4.5".  You can see the pattern clearly there and on the D60 above.  I'm sure they're 15" wheels too.  There are more pictures of the TJ-L in the Wrangler Looong thread.  The Israeli Army has been using YJ-L's for a while.  You can see picts of them occasionally on TV and in other photos.  I've never seen them with TJ's as of yet.

If someone sold that back bumper, I'd buy one in a minute.  Nice and functional

It looks simple to fab. Get the width measured, and the full drop you want. Then go look for something 2" x (height - say like 5") x 60" wide C-channel. Take a grinder, sawsall, or jig saw and trim the corner angles on it. Drill couple holes to mount to Jeep rear crossmember. Done. For other attachments, you'll probably will need to 'space' the rear bumper off the frame to clear the other bolt heads. To get a hitch point installed, this will take some welding.

It would be easy to make, just boring.   Building bumpers isn't all that interesting, and definitly worth a couple hundred not to have to do it ;)
