My fave is the AEV, but it's $ prohibitive.

Has this thread been totallly jacked now or what??
Yeah, that River raider bumper is nice. I still cant beleive they didnt wheel that JK! He said it was too new, he didnt wanna break it yet! What about the rest of us there with our new JKs?

And yeah this thread is jacked I prefer the Shrockwork's mid

Actually he did end up wheeling it after the other RR one broke down. I'd have more pictures if my batteries hadn't gone on strike that day..

I didnt know he wheeled it, I guess I'll let him slide then I only saw him the first half of the day in the TJ, before we split into two groups Then when we were leaving the park, he pulled next to us in the JK and Alex was busting on him for it being so clean Thats when he said he didnt wanna wheel it yet cause it was too new.

Hmmm.. Any more pictures of this river raider bumper you speak of? And any time frame as to its release??? I'm very curious about it. What kind of coating is that? Rhino-lining/Ameriguard??? Will they coat it for you?

DETAILS...I NEED DETAILS!

That's rhino-lining.. they offer to do that, or powder coat for extra, otherwise it's bare metal.. and you could treat it yourself with whatever. I'm waiting to hear back about how much extra it would be and if any of the 1st run are unspoken for.

Someone in another thread was making fun of the Grizzly (I think) bear claws on the side... The RR and Skull/crossbones looks MUCH tackier to me!!!

hey guys, i bought both his front and rear bumpers, gatorhyde coating on them which is what you see on the picture...kenny is an awesome guy to deal with, i think the river raider in the middle looks great though....haha and this thread is no longer about mopar bumpers but thats fine....

He was wheelign the new jk after his tj broke down though, not sure how hard, but i do like the look of the bumpers, speically since they come built in with fog lights and winch can drop right in...of course its all personal opinion, Im happy i pulled the trigger on them at least....

On the availabilty, i know they are in production now, i think they made like 12(going from memory-) sets to start or something like that, not sure how many are spoken for yet.

I am correct the mopar bumper does not have holes for the stock fog lamps. Now you can cut holes and try to fit the stock lights. And there are the jeep one that sit on top of the bumper but they suck. I have them and it alot of money for a cheap piece of crap.

Going to hijack this thread again... Is it possible to cut holes into the stock X bumper to get the stock Sahara/Rubicon bumper fog-light look? What would be involved, and is it worth it?
