I could be wrong, but im pretty sure if you give LOD a call they MIGHT be able to hook you up...ive heard they do some custom work and it wouldnt be hard because they mount to the bumper on my stinger version...

just an option though

This will be my first real mod. I'll post pics when it's done. Thanks for all of the great responses and I will be asking again when it is time to put the winch in!

Good choice!

Now you have to start thinking about a winch!

The storage end caps came in today. They were REALLY well packaged. I took a few pics after I got em out.







I'll post more as the parts come in.

Bumper just arrived! The lights, windshield brackets, and winch tube came yesterday.



Nothing too exciting in the box..
I'll post some pics during the install. (Whenever that may be..)

I sure wasn't very "green" with this order. Rugged Ridge is like 5 miles from my house. This bumper got shipped all the way to Pennsylvania and then back. (I ordered through Amazon.)

This is what the RR bumper end looked like after:



The flare didnt hold up nearly as well..
