While LOD missed an opportunity on the hole shape - they must have been reading your mail on the mount location. These points are pretty much on the same plane as the bumper mounting bolts. So no additional downward leverage.
I also like that they have mounting bolts coming in from...
2" body lift. The gap is virtually the same between the 2 bumpers.
It's only an eye-catcher now because I removed the black trim piece I made. When that is installed - it covers a lot of sin and doesn’t grab the eye so much….
By "license plate area" are you talking about the center where I have my plate temp mounted? If so then this would be a no fly zone for trailer plug setup. First, you'd need to extend your harness to reach that area. But also It is recessed to allow clearance for your spare so there is...
Yeah - the tire carrier should be this weekends project. What I liked about this bumper is that the carrier weight is 100% on the bumper, but it swings open with the tailgate. So no latches or anything to undo first.
Which, I'm pretty sure is going to be a problem with my body lift...
It's open behind them. I think they are recessed because the chase lights/backup lights you would normally mount there want to be recessed for protection.
Yup. Only fits one way. But the gap is due to my body lift so you would not have this gap.
Body-lifts lift the vehicle body away from the frame. Bumpers are mounted to the frame. Ergo they don't get a lift leading to gap between bumper and body.
Don't worry. I've got a plastic trim...
Got the Mabett strut under my hood. Going on 2 years no problem.
If you noticed I failed to put an "s" after "strut" you are either a grammar Nazi or very astute. I can't run the passenger side strut due to the snorkel. So you'll be happy to know that - even on one strut - it lifts and...
Distilled water won't kill ya. But...
Drinking distilled water regularly poses several potential health risks, primarily due to its lack of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are important for cardiovascular health, bone strength, and electrolyte balance. While distilled...
UPDATE: See page 2 for my review of the swing away tire carrier LOD offers for this bumper. Still need to install the backup camera relocation bracket, will updated again when that is done.
TLDR: Happy overall with this bumper but there are some negatives you should be aware of.. Love the...
I think they are leveraging some advertising loophole. I have no doubt it is the exact same factory switch PANEL. Just not the same number of switches installed in said panel. Hey, we didn't lie.
Now that's some "Temu Level Advertising" right there.
Functional. But will annoy the F outta you. It will make enough noise to wake the dead. Receiver hitches don't fit snug.
up? BANG down? BANG left? BANG right? BANG rotation from the fuel sloshing around? yup....you guessed it....BANG
Just a heads up
Beware cheap 3M VHB imitation tapes. I was tempted by the price - learned that there *IS* a difference. The inexpensive knock-off tape just doesn't hold as well as genuine 3M brand name does.
On a similar note: any accessories that your buy that are made in China and come pre-installed...

Don't forget the rings themselves - you're not just buying a bag of bolts. That said, I agree they are expensive for what you get. But do look sweet and hold a bead well.
My advice:
* Don't use LocTite - it's not needed. You are compressing the rubber tire with these bolts so that...
I got the "free oil change for life" deal when I bought mine so change it 4 times a year regardless of mileage.
Not that I think it needs it - I just wanna get my money's worth 😅
What I was told by the bartender at the Little Ale'inn (a self-proclaimed authoritive source if you tip him 😉) was if you "touch" the fence it would be considered "attempted breaking and entering" and thus crosses the legal line and gives the justification to bring the hammer down on you.
What...
Me ‘n the Pug take the Bronco and our camper “Itchy Feet” on a road trip to find out for ourselves: “does the government base that doesn't exist”, actually exist?
No hardcore offroad action this trip. But it does come with a UFO at the end….
