I can snap some pictures for you. It is not exactly full coverage but I have not had any issues yet and have taken it on some rough terrain (elephant hill) while I still had 33s that skid has yet to be used. The underbelly ones however have been put to use!
Depends on what you have on it I imagine. Mine has a big iKamper rooftop tent so I avoid automatic carwashes altogether - that and all of my local automatic carwashes are known for causing damage... What are your eventual plans for the rack? If you run it naked or with only the cargo pods it...
I did a writeup on mine here:

Almost a year later I am still very happy! Have a look there I listed the reasons I went with this design.
I can go look at the pile of parts I have after I replaced my OE steel bumper with a new one (it had the LED fogs) new bumper came with mounting brackets - if I have the original ones (and they turn out to be brackets not integral) I would gladly send them to anyone who wants to just pay the...
As noted in my thread for the ARB Bondi Deluxe installation I had unfortunately had some front end damage and was able to work a deal on upgrades vs. replacing with OE parts. One of the impacted components was the Right Front Fender Flare with damage to the middle inner liner that wraps around...
I made an update to the original post with the missing weight of the tow hooks and the final math on the weight. Sorry for the delay I decided to just do a winch at the same time. Writeup on that coming but I went with a Smittybilt XRC Gen3 Comp/Synthetic line winch. *I chose this winch...
I just finished doing this as well, went with QUAKE LED DRLs (local company, and on sale) but then also did AAL fender liners at the same time. There are a few ways to accomplish this from complete fender liner removal to trimming the liner around the light, your choice will depend on your goal...
@JK4AER I will post more pics soon! We got some snow that slowed me down and then I just broke down and ordered a winch - funny how fast these projects snowball. I just didn't want to have to take it apart again later to add the winch. @TheSolarWizard the chopped fender and full width wasn't my...
Due to some recent front end damage it was time to replace the OEM plastic Rubicon/LED fog light bumper with something more substantial. I had some criteria that a new bumper had to meet for my specific needs:
Retain or replace the OEM front skid plate, replacement had to be included and not an...
I just installed (partially) the Bondi Deluxe on my Rubicon. I am extremely happy with the quality and parts included. There were a few small bumps to overcome on installation, and I weighed each part since I saw another thread were weight was a concern. The ARB Bondi Deluxe includes a new skid...
Well - unfortunately my Jeep met the side of a Peterbilt wrecker a few nights ago during a sudden onset snow/ice storm... Good news is that the Jeep appears to have done shockingly well! It was unavoidable as the wrecker lost control and got completely sideways sliding down an icy hill and...
Sounds a lot like what I landed on too considering its a brand new close to daily driver - a few useful mods like onboard air, full belly skids from Artec or MOTOBILT, maybe bumpers/winch and when the factory 33s are worn go up to 35s. That and the bedrack, decked system and tent I already have...
I will second what everyone else here has said so far. Mine is stock from a driveline perspective and has tackled: Hells Revenge, the first two miles of Lockhart Basin (due to time of day), Engineer Pass, TinCup Pass and a bunch more of the less well known trails/passes in Colorado/Utah. If...
Their website lists the forged version at 85lbs. This and the fact that they advertise the load ratings:
Off-road dynamic: 400lbs
On-road dynamic: 800lbs
Static (parked): 1400lbs
Were the main selling points for me - less impact to overall cargo capacity greatest strength to weight ratio and...
I have thought about that as well. With the abundance of T-slot I have been kicking around the idea of making my own canvas or even hard panels (aluminum or carbon) that would attach using the Leitner Traklok bolts closing it off in more of a topper configuration. Before I committed to this...
I am also interested in what your starting position was regarding factory options. I have not read the entire other post on this topic so apologies if it is covered elsewhere; however I am curious why you cannot use your existing rear camera - I did see on factorychryslerparts.com there are two...
