And I very much agree with the deterioration of service. I could and should start a new thread regarding my experiences in the last two months with 3 stealerships and jeep directly. I have 0- F's to give jeep right now and not that's likely to become a non zero number any time soon, if ever...
Expedition One might be the only other bumper I know of with a swing out. I would love for Adventure Further Offroad to someday let us know who built the unit on the back of their Green Glad.

Cake walk in the glad. The length and 40’s made quick work of the whole trail. Bout 1.5 hours in and back. I ran to the left side over the three boulders and straddled the v between those and the wall. No point to even try the wall, turtle time. But way easier than my last rig, jk long arm on 37’s.
Took glad on Bi annual Moab run “to” add some experience scars and bring home problems to fix. My engine consumed (burned them up)its glow plugs on the way out there. Tacking it up to continued fight over injector failures with the jeeps folks. I had some crazy egt’s pre turbo. Saw 1500deg...
I pull a dry 2400lbs Opus with my JTD..... well aware 40's don't help, but there is only one gage to watch when pulling anything at my weight or north of that---- ENGINE OIL TEMP! It takes nothing before that engine is north of 255 Deg and won't take long before the "limp it to the dealer mode"...
Easiest solution I have used to black out that area as well as the white hardtop interior is to use flat black plasti-dip... super easy, cheap, and noncommittal.. Also has a nice mat finish that doesn't reflect light much and has a soft feel to it. I used four cans to complete all of it. Only...
Current build option just calls it the tow package.. But it has supposedly better cooling By " heavy duty engine cooling"... 100% false advertising... Even on the sport s where max tow is shown, it still has the generic "heavy duty cooling" so probably all the same on the cooling front...
Getting the cooling is the most important part.... As a diesel owner with the max tow package, I run 40's and pull a 2400 lb opus and it struggles poorly to keep the engine temp. down. I could only imagine how fast my engine would destroy itself without the upsized cooling system.. Still isn't...
JScan is the way to go. More features than most of know how to use. I have found it very valuable just since Labor Day when my eco D went into limp mode and I was stranded in BF nowhere with an alleged plugged up DPF. Dealer said it can't be forced without them doing it... BS. J scan has the...
