Any word on the redesign? Itching for a bumper.

Does anybody even HAVE the Rugged Ridge one? I thought they were like ghost bumpers or somethin. Did they finally come off backorder?

Plenty of people have the RR bumper... they just don't have all the pieces for it LOL! It's like a bumper that LEGO would design...and apparently some pieces are on backorder. I'm pretty sure the stuff is manufactured in China and that is what is taking so long to get the product.

It's a pretty safe bet you will get the stubby bumper...all the other pieces are sketchy.

Neither have quite everything, if the LOD had the bull bar that would help though.

I agree with that, I think it would make a big difference!

well Shrockworks comes to mind but I really like the LOD bumpers, in fact thought they made one with the bar. I know their rear bumper would look good with my narrow flares.

Nice pic, I'd say go for it, hopefully it angles forward, kind of hard to tell, but I think it does a little. For what these bumpers cost you'd think they would include the bar and go ahead weld it on

I really like the LOD.

Also, I had to deal with Rugged Ridge about their mirror relocation brackets (the first batch had too much powder coating, making them useless for the most part - they were well aware of the problem) and the customer service was terrible. I will never purchase a product from them because of their customer service, or lack of....
