Hahaha, you said call Smittybilt!! Like they answer the phone or something! LMAO!!
I called them, twice. Once just a question about flat towing and again to get my rear bumper plugs. They answered quickly, was professional, and shipping was quick. I asked if they could send me an email response about my flat tow question, just in case I ever needed written confirmation you could flat tow with their front bumper...they did immediately. Can't vouch for your experience, but mine was great. I only wish the rear plugs was with the bumper when it was shipped out so I wouldn't have needed to call.

That was my first thought, but using the hob cover withy wheel would have blocked off way too much of the camera view. As it is the camera actually 'sees' a little bit of the red trim ring.
As for the door stops, they are actually replacement feet for table legs. I found them at the local Ace hardware. I got the 1-1/2" size
Thanks

Did to my Jeep and my garage...

Installed the Racor Hoist with Topsy straps and gears and took the hard top off for the first time.

Did the same thing today! Then put the soft top on for the summer. I hate that damn thing.

Now that it's finally not freezing in my unheated garage I've been adding the stuff I bought last Black Friday! In the past couple of weeks I've added my LOD Destroyer Bumpers, Diabolical Slipstream, Tuffy center console safe, Hothead Headliners (though I did that earlier, using blankets and running my heater) plus lots of little things that make this mine. I'm now figuring out what I want to do to the engine and suspension. I also have my LOD rock sliders to put on yet!

Looking great! Howā€™s your stock suspension handling the extra weight of the bumpers?

I'm currently researching how to best upgrade my suspension. I'm not having any issues just yet. I'm still not done adding things and I've not loaded it completely up. I'm trying to get in front of any issues though. It came with the tow package if that helps.

Does anyone know if that means my springs are different than JLUs that didn't come with the tow package?

Right now I'm looking for a good deal on Rubicon takeoff springs & shocks.

I like the looks of the Slipstream. Can you still put the freedom panels in the back of the jeep with the Slipstream in place?

Tow package doesnā€™t add different springs/shocks, just the hitch and aux switches. I have a Rubicon and am (mildly) concerned about all the weight Iā€™ll be adding and how the OEM Springs will handle it. I havenā€™t installed my bumpers yet. Actually, I threw my back out on Easter Sunday lifting the Rock Hard front bumper while moving it into the shed. Iā€™ve been out of commission for the past three days so itā€™ll be a while until I get these bumpers installed.
