That looks great Windrocker, I can't wait to get mine... couple more weeks and I should be able to pull the trigger.

Did they inform you of the new design features prior to ordering, or was it a nice surprise when it showed up?

Also, what was your lead time and shipping cost?

Thanks!

I actually e-mailed Expedition One yesterday about the rear bumper and here's what I got back.

Let me know if oyu have any other questions!

Thank You,

Sarah

The upgrades were a great surprise. The friend that helped me install it has the original version, which is great, so I was very familiar with it or so I thought. So the improvements were a great surprise.

Shipping took about two weeks from the day of order to my door. I ordered it from a company called Rompalicious, yes funny name but great company. They kept me informed almost daily of its status. I even knew when Exp One was having a problem with their powder coater, which by the way is a perfect match for the fender flares.

As far as shipping cost, I dont see how you can beat Rompalicious, just do a Google for Rompalicious 4x4 for their web page and contact numbers. I would suggest calling them directly and talking to Ken Demico the owner. If you have any issues getting him I would be happy to pass along his direct number just PM me.

Thanks for the compliments and good luck to all wanting this bumper. It is worth the pennies, you will not be disappointed.

Hey Windrocker, mine is supposed to arrive today and will be installing it over the weekend. Any tips or gotchas I should know about? I like the upgrades, looks awesome! Definitely beats that ugly thing AEV is coming out with.
