LoD shorty rear bumper and tire carrier installed
After three weeks of waiting, my LoD bumper was delivered and two days later my tire carrier came. Everything is installed except for the lights, which aren't wired yet. It won't be long until I order a LoD mid-width front! I am very happy with the setup.

the finish is matte black
There were no instructions included so it was up to my friend and I to figure it out, but it wasn't bad. I would have called LoD if I needed to. Five holes needed to be drilled in the frame and one needed to be reamed out. It is a little heavy so we had a third person to help hold the bumper up while all the holes were being marked. Two people could get it done, though. The tire carrier was binding a bit but I shimmed a spot with 1/2" washers to fix that. Again, without instructions, it got done but probably took a little longer than it would have.
The holes for the lights are 3 1/2" diameter and there is a provision inside the bumper to bolt the lights in place. The lights are slightly larger than the holes and kind of float against the holes. I didn't save the box for the light kit, I wish I would have. My only worry is that if the lights loosen up and move, I don't know if they can be tightened with the bumper in place.
