What changes did they make? or can you not share until after SEMA?
the bumper is still the same but the tire carrier has been completely redesigned and is now adjustable. the height of your spare can be adjusted as well as the trail rack. there are also provisions that'll allow you to keep your 3rd brake light. it is very very nice.

Great, first you talk me into 35's at the suds and grub. Now the more expensive bumper.

You do realize I make my living in the theater, right?

So? You have access to lots of "monopoly" money, right?

Me vote 4 - > LOD Offroad, I have the rear SS with carrier and I have no complaints or regrets it makes the Jeep look great.


It has a "cleaner" look because it follows the body around to the wheel flare

Some don't like the Red Rock, it seems to stop too early

But everyone is different

If you end up getting the LoD with the rear lights, you should know that the lights will be mounted sideways which is super annoying. I took my jeep into screamin lizard and had them alter the bracket inside the bumper for the rear fogs so that the light pattern was horizontal instead of vertical. A friend of mine had the same issue so he called LoD and they seemed unconcerned that there was a problem with the lights. Pretty disappointing.

If I were to do it over again I would go with Shrockworks. Better quality IMO.

I'm considering Hanson and Red Rock myself. Of those two the Hanson may go better with AEV front

I'm holding out on any purchase until I see if Hanson will come out with a shorty more like the width of the Red Rock.

Is that the ExpOne finish, or did you have it Line-X'ed?
