So I called 4Wheelparts today to cancel my order 'cause I got tired of waiting and been deciding between other bumpers and they told me it's shipping on Monday.

Now I don't know if I want the XRC or the Red Rock Fab:



I need to decide today to cancel the order B4 it ships

And here's the XRC:

Who ever you get it from, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE IT IN STOCK!!! Smittybilt is seriously behind on producing and delivering JK products. I waited for 6 months and gave up!!

Like I said, I called to cancel but actually didn't mention the word "cancel", just asked for the ststus and then I was going to say I wanted to cancel but before that they told me my bumper was ready to ship on Monday from their Jacksonville warehouse.

Then I checked my order on line and it says,

Part No. S/B76805
Qty Ordered 1
Description XRC Front Bumper, Blk Txt
Qty Processed 1

B4 it would say,
Qty Processed 0

Anyways, I decided not to cancel and see if it really ships next week. If it doesn't then I'll get another bumper.

I wanted to wait as much as possible since I placed the order when they had 20% off + free shipping.

Have you looked at the Rugged Ridge Modular Bumper? You can buy it in pieces to meet the 70lbs weight limit. I have not installed mine yet so I cant give you a good review on it.

Easy to make full size with side pieces. I ordered mine from:

http://www.jeep4x4center.com/jeep-wr...lar-bumper.htm

It was cheaper. As far as the shipping to APO I used www.shipitAPO.com as my middle man. Just beware the main bumper piece is 76lbs packed so when mine got to www.shipitAPO.com they had to repack it to get it under 70lbs. They took the hardware and shackles out and shipped me two boxes. I got the Hardware and Shackle box today but still waiting on the bumper. Beware the cost for repacking and shipping was around $200. So next I am going to be looking for a friend to hire to repack my boxes and ship them for me. I have a winch in the states that I have a friend removing the cable from now so that we can get it under the 70lbs for shipping in two boxes. I requested that the factory/warehouse remove the cable and they refused so like many I am experiencing the APO PITA.
