I’d love to have a set of Rocker Knockers, but I dont think I’ve seen them for a 2-door JL yet.

Yeah I don't think they have a 2 door version yet. Only the JLU and JT.

I know I had brought up the Rage 4th line earlier in this thread, and I still like a lot of things about them, but ultimately the lack of bumper mounted tire carrier took them out of the running for me. After extensive research and debate (in my own head), I ended up going with the Poison Spyder Bruizer bumpers, front and rear. Really happy with my decision and love the way they turned out. Solid design features, excellent finish quality, no doubt they'll hold up to punishment on the rocks, and Poison Spyder took good care of me with the couple of hiccups I experienced along the way during the shipping and install process. There was obviously a lot of effort put into making sure these bumpers aren't just Jeep jewelry.

Front bumper with Warn Zeon 10-S, Baja Designs Squadron SAE fogs, and Factor 55 fairlead and FlatLink MultiMount. Winch is a very snug fit. It didn't rub, but I still did a tiny bit of trimming on the winch mounting plate to open up a little room in hopes I might be able to squeeze in a winch cover. Light cutouts seem to be designed around the Rigid lights. The Baja Designs are just a hair too big to actually fit through the hole, so I mounted them inset by maybe a 1/16th of an inch or so. License plate is held on with rubber coated magnetic bars for easy removal when I get to the trail.

Rear bumper with Baja Designs Squadron Sport backup lights. Matches the lines of the vehicle nicely and the tire carrier is super solid. I really like that it opens with the tailgate as opening the carrier separately was always a hassle on my XJ, especially after I smashed the latch mechanism. License plate/3rd brake light/camera mount is nice piece and happened to tuck perfectly inside my beadlocks. I got creative with the wiring and hardware to make removal of this unit super easy for spare tire removal purposes. Again the cutouts were just a hair too small for the Baja Desingns lights, but I feel like they're better protected being slightly inset anyways.

lol. I was going to get around to posting in this thread eventually...

Here’s a picture of the plate mount and the tire mount for good measure:

FINALLY got my Rocker Knockers installed. Here’s a few driveway pics.

Overall I’m pleased with them. However, I do wish they followed the body contour, and I wish they stuck out just a little further for some added protection while pivoting on rocks (and for door ding protection in the mall parking lot!) Now, I’m just waiting on the bolt on steps to show up to give the wife and the little ones a leg up while in daily driver mode.

Looks great! Just be safe and keep to the trails and avoid the malls.

I have the Poison Spyder Bruiser bumper and bumper skid plate. This is very well made, and was everything I wanted (except it required square instead of round LED fogs).

I recommend this to anyone looking to mount a winch and upgrade their bumper.

I love their stuff except for the "SQUARE Fogs/Driving" that is ugly so i'll wait until they decide to put all round lights on their front end products... Square peg round hole kinda thing LoL...

Tell me more about the camera wiring extension!! ;)
Yeah, wrestling that connection off the back of the camera sucks. I used a 1 foot extension and bundled it together with the license plate light and the CHMSL wires to make a nice little pigtail. Here’s the one I used, American made, available in any length, and a quality product:

Fakra Universal Extension

Made a 3-wire Deutsch connector for the lights. (Not sure why this pic is upside down...?)

And also added these little lifesavers along with some SS carriage bolts to make license plate removal tool-less.

Sweet! Thanks. Just ordered an 8” one, hope that’s enough. My ORO plate mount has a quick disconnect for lights. I need to figure out a tool-less plate removal also!
