That's a really nice looking bumper, excellent design, and very reasonable pricing. Also probably the best license plate relocation kit I've seen. Anything significant need to be done with the stock license plate light wiring to adapt to the relo kit?

We ran wires through the tailgate/body panels and tapped off of the right rear tail light. It's not terribly difficult to do, but we are looking into offering a harness/plug and play option in the future.

I hope this bumper will work with a Gobi rack. I’m not sure if the requirements on the Gobi side but I really like the bumper!

@NextDan any thoughts on how we can figure this out? I don’t have the rack yet. Maybe dimensions of height versus stock or something?
@Tragdor ; in comparing our bumper to the factory bumper, and after reading through the JL Gobi install instructions, I have confidence this bumper is compatible with the JL Gobi Rack.

The attached picture shows the body tub/bumper gap with our rear bumper; the Gobi mount appears to pass through the gap between the bumper and the body tub in this location. Compare this photo to Figure 69 in their instructions ;)

Dan,
good talking to you today on FB. I'll have to make it down to Tuscon sometime and check out the bumpers once you get closer with the swing away.

any news on the pictures of sensor location? Thanks. Also when i attempted to order it was charging tax?
I did get some images of the sensor locations; they are on the shop computer though. I'll try to get those up first thing in the morning.

It shouldn't be charging you tax for out of state/web orders unless you are local. It should go away once an address is entered; unless it didn't save the address correctly for some reason.

I'm stoked to get mine. In my opinion this is the best looking rear bumper for the JL. Of course mine wil be delivered on Tuesday when I leave for work so it probably won't make it onto the Jeep for another 2-3 weeks.

Delivery schedules are a funny thing; parts for our shop JL were stacking up March of last year and we were still waiting on the JL itself to arrive haha. Looking forward to seeing pictures of it on your rig! :D

Out of curiosity, I understand you're revising the aluminum front bumper option, are there any plans of releasing this rear in aluminum as well?

Michael,

We would love to offer aluminum options front and rear once we're happy with them. I don't have an ETA right now on them; but I'll post up here when I do.

Best,
-Dan

Checked the website but didn't see.. Can you get the bumper with the cut-outs but NOT the sensors? I don't have the sensors on my Rubi but would love the extra rear lighting at times.
