Thanks, wish they would reply to my email or their post.

The round fogs will fit. It’s in this thread somewhere.

Please any of you post pics whenever you've received and installed your bumper. Totally love it. IT's almost an AEV RX bumper at a fraction of the price.... Can't wait for the reviews.

I second that.. pics please.. and maybe some measurements to see how much squat you got in the front after install.. I love the bumper but am hoping to not lose any lift with whatever bumper choice I go with.

Mine is on its way. Should be here tomorrow according to UPS. But it comes in 2 boxes, the lighter of which doesn’t have a delivery date right now, and seems to have been sent out in a different direction than the main box (1 scanned in Colorado last night, the other in New Mexico). We’ll see when I can get both and get it installed. Shouldn’t be long though.

Mine says today. 3 boxes but I got the aluminum skid plate too.

 

[Kleiss1]

Got mine.

Got mine.

Well, that isn't comforting. Mine had said tomorrow all along and now changed to unknown....

I wish they had a phone number.

What part of the bumper is that rounded?

The top outside.

This rubber thing covers the edge. But it fell off.

Ugh.... That sucks is that rubber thing for shipping, or it stays on there?

Im not sure. It only covers the bolt on extensions. Not glued or anything. if just for shipping it didn’t work.

Mine came today too - full package + skid. In slightly better shape than the photo you showed, but the powder coat on the end cap is chipped. The box was destroyed, courtesy of UPS - the gaping holes re-taped. The plastic package of hardware was hanging out of the box when it arrived - no tears in the plastic, apparently no missing pieces. The bumper itself was well wrapped in bubble wrap, and the bulk of it was perfectly fine. The two end caps though barely fit in the box they were in and both suffered minor abrasions. It may be worth exploring detaching end caps for shipping - makes for a long, awkward package.

The winch mount came in same box as bumper but it was wrapped separately, well, and undamaged.

Skid came in own sturdy box with no damage to box or content. Same with LED bar: came in its own box, well packaged and in perfect condition. The LED bar also had the same rubber edging. My guess is it's just for shipping - I see no scenario it would remain adhered to the edges in real world use.

I've gotta say, the bumper looks even better in person... I couldn't tell from the photos what kind of sweep (curve) it had, as in did it follow the contours of the body. It does - looks like it matches the sweep of the OEM bumper. Can't wait until this weekend when the whole enchilada gets bolted on.

There are a lot of separately wrapped parts just loose in the big box. I think I have everything.
