Hi

I’ve been looking at this bumper. Can you post a side shot on how the bumper ties into the rear tire fender? Thanks!!!

Today should be a good day, im installing the first aftermarket fog lights for the jl available. They are led's by morimoto and with the best warranty available. Is an easy plug and play. No need for resistors or bulbs, everything comes together and the housing is all designed specifically for the jl. I will install later so stay tuned!!

Willy_28, I'm also looking at this bumper. My concern is the hole for the tire carrier. If you purchase the carrier down the road it goes in the pre drilled hole. If not, they give you that plastic plug. How does the bumper look in person with the plastic plug in place.

My windshield cracked at under 700 miles in that EXACT same spot. Crack pattern looks nearly identical to both of you.
Did you get it replaced right away? Just curious how windshield availability is now. I know it was tough getting one earlier this year.

Hoping it gets rid of the whistle that I have when I get around to replacing it.

Put on R3 Off Road hinge protectors. You have to be looking for them to see them.

I commented on the R3 chip thread in the Cosmetic section - but question for you and/or others:

Is the chipping phenomenon on the hinges only for Sports or Rubicons WITHOUT the standard Mopar wide side steps like the Sahara? Esp if I stay on stock sized tires/offset, will this be an issue? I think the Sahara side steps should protect? Thoughts?

This is first time I purchased from Hammerhead Armor and I am really impressed with them. Good design, quality, beautiful welds and, strong finish. No discounts for saying that .....
The light bar wind noise was bad. The Aerolidz did its job, but I really don’t like the look. Also the open ends collect dirt and dust and it’s hard to clean them. Need find something else....

The sahara's enormous side steps will keep the rocks off. I haven't heard a single rock since putting on my rails, and they are significantly thinner.

Yup, Wade. Sticker peels right off.
