Chris has a solution forthcoming. We talked about this issue tonight when I picked up my Jeep. Stay tuned.

I put a weld on it with a tab. Almost looks OEM. Patent pending

9 weeks for mine, but it was due, in part, to the knuckle-heads at 4 WPW. Even, still, after the confusion, it took more than 6 weeks for LoD to build and ship mine. Other than that, I couldn't be happier--great workmanship.

(it's hard to grab on to).

I had a small tab welded on there to allow for easy disengage once the tire swing out engages the pin. Will post pics shortly.

Still very happy with the quality of the bumper, the matte finish, the snug fit.

Now of course i can't see out the back using my mirror with my 35 on there but that's a different issue
I'm glad it's not just me... I mounted a collar on the top of the pin and put a keyring through it to have something to grab onto to pull the pin up. Keeping the thing well-oiled is key, but mine is too stiff even when it's working smooth.

Ya i'd love to buy this thing but the whole no directions scares me. I'd hate to get it set out all on my floor and have to stand there looking at it with my thumb up my butt and saying "OK what now?"....

There are install instructions on their website, referencing this website.

You just wont get written instructions. WOL's step by step instructions are probably better. Print them

Wow,,, just got my bumper on today and you guys are right... that locking pin is almost impossible to move without a flat screwdriver or something.
And you guy's also just gave me better ideas on the 3rd brake light wire than what I did.
