Default Expedition one core mid width front bumper???????

so i m looking into purchasing a new mid width bumper; when i came across one from expedition one, called the "core" mid width bumper. i found it on the northridge site for $900 or so with a hoop and powder coating.http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...per_JK&cat=279. i checked the expedition one home page for any info on the bumper, and there is no recognition that it even exists?? i was just curious as to know if anyone had any information about the, weight, and if the disco skid is built into the bumper itself, or does it have to be purchased seperately? any info would help!

I have had this bumper since July. I'm not sure why they aren't selling them yet. I thought Northridge was going to have them at the end of August. I would call expo one directly. As for the bumper it is top notch. Very good powdercoating and hardware. It has 2 light mount tabs and will accommodate most winches. I had to drill my own holes to get my massive superwinch talon to fit but was no problem. The bumper only weighs 65lbs and accepts the factory fog lights. It was easy to install...bolts right up. I definitely recommend this bumper

I'd like some more info on that bumper as well...looks sweet.

Expo ones' webiste is so frustrating. They now have their rear bumper cb mount and hi-lift mount listed as 'coming soon'....I bought them 2 years ago.

I can vouch for the rear bumper's high quality and superior function though

Is there any protection for the electric sway bar disconnect with this bumper?

Is that factory crossbar visible under the bumper? Can you get a close up of the underside from the front & side?
