JcrOffroad - prototyping begins!

[Rick Astley]

First article on rear bumper is super close! A few tweaks, next one will be ready for fixture design! We are looking at a first of year launch on bumpers.

Product question: What size provision do you have for a lock on the arm release latch(es)?

Curious what you're integrating for people to use for theft protection.

I would be keen on using a Euro-Thor or Monolith shutter lock by Viro or perhaps an Abus 92/80 depending on the size of the opening and span necessary.

Are those squarish holes for fog lamps? Will you have an option for standard fog lamps?

They are for the industry standard 3x3 cube lights.

I am excited about a rear bumper with swing out tire carrier, but that one looks pretty beefy. Will it have an integrated receiver hitch? Will this be the only model produced, or will there be a high clearance version as well?

We are going to work around the factory hitch, that way customers can retain a DOT rates hitch. This is what we did on the JeepJK and JL which have a similar setup.

We do not have another rear bumper in the works. If we do end up with another option, it will not be a tire carrier bumper.

Do you know if it's possible to change round lights to these and use the same "fog light" button?

Hi are you still making this one also? Also will factory fog be able to be integrated? Thanks.

@JcrOffroad - here's a pretty good indicator of where armor is needed:

With a solenoid relocation kit, it looks like the camera may retain most of it's field of view. Did you try it out at all?

Yes. Just wire in the aftermarket lights to the factory wiring.

It still catches the front of the winch and tray.

But you are working on the relocation kit, right?

I will be interested to see, as long as you don't lose the ability to place the tires, it may be OK with me. I am looking at the Smittybuilt X20 winch. It seems to be pretty low profile, light and has an easy to relocate control box. I am now very glad I didn't go Lux!

First hoop option on our final revision of the vanguard front! Bull bar tube work is next.
