Yeah, wasn't thinking about the R&P. 1st and reverse are pretty close in our transmissions too. 4.06 reverse vs 4.46 in 1st. Still not good for the R&P though.

I would like to see a pic of a bumper with one of the flatracks attached to the front maybe with some gear on. I like the idea of this, but I'm thinking it wouldn't take much gear and your hindering the airflow, and like someone else mentioned covering up the headlights.

Has anyone got one on their Jeep. I am an engineer for an aluminum extrusion company and I worked with the guys at BDO for their rock sliders. We extrud the sliders for them. The guys over there said they were going to give me one but dont have it yet.

I have never found anything for the JK on BDO websites, or Quadratec. I would be interested to know if they actually make JK items yet.

I see 599 + shipping from their site. Wonderful design though. I like the idea of front hitch, for bikes or other acc's.

I wanted to bring this thread back from the dead to see if anyone knows any more about this one these days. It is still listed for sale, but seems impossible to find a picture of one actually installed, or any opinions on it.
Very strange, it seems to be a decent looking bumper...
