Finally had enough time over the holiday break to get the LoD destroyer bumper and tire carrier installed. I didn't have much trouble with anything during the install, just took my time. Fit and finish is top notch, and everything arrived in foam-packed boxes so there was no shipping damage either.

The only thing I could not figure out was how to get the connectors off of the camera extension cable so I could use the provided cable sheath. It just felt like they were going to break and I had no way to re-crimp that coax, so I used some split wire loom instead. Didn't turn out bad at all, though I suppose it would have looked cleaner with the braided sheath that was narrower. But that's hidden most of the time, so whatever!

I have the trail rack and rotopax mounts as well, but will probably keep them off except for when I need them. I really love how modular and heavy duty this thing is!

Thanks @lodoffroad ! This is my second LoD rear bumper (had one on my 05 TJ). The old TJ carrier was very well-built, but they have come a long way since then. :clap:

Wired the halos up to one of the aux switches. Now the come on with ignition like the DRL halos on the Rubicon/Sahara but I can also turn them off at will.
Free up your Aux switch, get a Micro Add-A-Fuse and put it on F57.

Are this the ones from Amazon?
I was hesitating to buy some like this or the Mopars. How is the quality?
Nothing major - finally got around to putting on sill guards and stubby antenna.

Boy I've came along way from 6 months. Just a Sport S stock, but now added a whole bunch of goodies. Yesterday, finished my high fender flare install with the morimoto lights.

Looks completely like a Rubicon. Where did you bought the high fenders?

Looks good. Question for you: I see the holes for the backup sensors, do you have them? Do they have ghosts?

Outstanding! :like:

I have their Destroyer bumpers on my Jeep, front and rear, and I'm very happy with them.

The rear bumper comes with plastic plugs for those like myself whose Jeeps aren't equipped with backup sensors.

You wouldn't know it wasnt a rubicon unless you looked inside at the console :). I got them from moparonlineparts.com
