So I have been reading other folks' experiences with the rear defroster. It seems the most common issue is the connection becoming unsoldered. For me, the issue is what appears to be scorch marks. It appears around the entire perimeter and on the smaller wires.
When I asked the dealer he...
Unfortunately for me I bought the Jeep with the plastic bumper knowing I would replace it. Hey I may just leave the plastic skid on there if possible...better than nothing...even if everyone will make fun of me :)
There are two different ACE bumpers shown here. One with the recessed winch (Expedition) and one without (Pro). According to ACE you can't use the FAD flip with the recessed (Pro) version. The fact that the Expedition has a recessed winch likely interferes with the FAD if you try to use the...
Good to hear they rotated all five... Safford would only do 4 stating the spare was not part of the Wave service. Guess some dealerships may like to do a little more to earn business...
And no need for a $200 winch plate. However, it appears there is some cutting and drilling required... so it's not just a quick bolt-on. I will post my process when I get it early next year.

I just recently went through this process myself. I ended up with a SmittyBilt Gen3 9.5 winch. Many will refer to these as "ShittyBilt" and many abhor buying Chinese. Time will tell when I have my first opportunity to use it if...
I'll be interested to see what they say. I have their sliders and am very happy. I have had several conversations with them and they've been very responsive...and I mean "very". I am hoping to reuse my factory fogs as that was one of the reasons I opted for this bumper... I am sure it will...
Did you reach out to Ace to get their reaction? I don't have a lot of tools for drilling and cutting metal so this may be a challenge. Although any excuse to buy tools is OK by me.
Following this as I ordered both a front (Expedition) and rear bumper with tire carrier during Black Friday. I decided to try the new Smittybilt 9.5K Gen3 winch. According to Nick at Ace, you have to make a notch in the frame on the driver's side to fit in the winch plate. He told me they...
You could always just change your wheels to these https://teraflex.com/shop_items/jl-jlu-jk-jku-nomad-off-road-wheel-deluxe-5x5-titanium-gray-each
Likely not the option you're looking for :)
I am pretty new to this but I purchased these JT Brooks and have found them to be great. Like the Stauns they are slower than others that remove the stems...
