Bumpers
I also went with LOD. I have had the full width w/rack and jeep can holders in the rear on for 4 years now and no issues. Still as tight as the day I put it on. There was a long lead time but well worth the wait. I have experienced no problems with the finish. I put a relay for the rear lights so I can turn them on when ever I need additional light to the rear without being in reverse. The only reason I didn't go with LOD in the front is because I got a Fab 4 at a silent auction for like 25% of list. It has held up well also. As far a install, I did mine with help from my daughter and it fit with no problem. Good Luck

Im running the LOD Linked Carrier System with rotopax mount and I couldn't be happier. Only took them 4 weeks to get mine to my door and Chris at LOD is always a pleasure to talk with. Everytime I had a question instead of just telling me "The How To is on our website!" and then hanging up he made sure that we were on the same page and takes alot of pride in their customer satisfaction.. Plus they have a few bolt-on options to customize it to you.

I have zero complaints with customer service. We called a couple times. Once to clarify shipping and another to modify our order. No problems and very friendly.
Your linked carrier is the first I think I have seen on here. We called them today and changed our order to the standard model for fear we would regret selecting the carrier with limited capacity. No problems with changing the order and it ships this week and that is right on time.

Are there provisions for more than one Rotopax on that tire carrier? Or is that an option through rotopax and not LOD? Looks great by the way

These are the options they have on their website for the rotopax.
3 Gallon
Stacked 2 Gallon
Vertical 2 Gallon
But with the linked carrier you can only carry on the passenger side. If you want more options check out their website;

For you guys with the LOD rear bumper....have you towed anything with it? Just wondering about the wiring for the trailer lights. I don't see anything that resembles the plug like my factory rear has. I tow a small trailer quite often. Thanks.

Trailer wiring
I have not towed anything but I kept the factory plug and wiring. It is tied up to the crossmember and it is there if I ever need it. They also make a plate to attach your safety chains to. I called and they sent it right out to me. (mine did not come with the bumper) Great customer service as far as I am concerned.
Good Luck
