Sweet! I've been wanting to get a set, but I'm real worried about those dang body mount bolts.

From others, it seems they are fine. I am planning to keep the factory rocksliders on as well. I won’t put a lot of mods on my rubicon, so I’m not too worried about the extra weight.

Still waiting for a frame mounted rock slider maybe LoD.

Kinda want Aev's front bumper, not really crazy about early crash tests results, most of which have plastic bumper.

AEv bumper is a lil pricey but they put alot of engineering work into it, plus its stronger than steel and lighter. Seems like a winner.

I’d like the rear bumper, but the front is growing on me. Love the engineering. Hope to see more boron steel bits.

I also would like that back bumper. Planning on staying with the stock steel front bumper for now, just to many other things I would like to get first. May go to 35's but really don't want to lift it at this time so have been looking at replacing the fenders to get a little more clearance. I know you can run 35's with the stock rubi fenders would just like some extra area in there for wheeling. Also would like to upgrade the tire carrier and of course under side armor.

LOD says they’re trying for this month for the 2 door destroyer. As of a couple weeks ago, AEV wouldn’t give me a time frame for the bumper. I’m going with the factory front and AEV rear. The destroyers are my preference for the step sliders.

In early December AEV told me first quarter 2019 for the back bumper. Hope that is not moving back now.

At first I was a bit disappointed at the delays.

As it turns out, it just gives me time to save up and figure out what I really need. The bumper is a must, imho.
Sounds like a guy I know that bought sliders before he should have......
