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.
