Exposing my ignorance here - frame vs body mounted? Rubicon stock rails have the bolts through the pinch seem and then the four bolts going up from the bottom...is that 'body mount'? The Rock Hard rails use all of those same mounting points plus the three body bolts on each side. Is that...

Done.

Hard Rock Rails (angled up) installed and a couple weeks ago got the LoD signature series mid width on.

Any reason you all decided to use 2 of 3 body bolts on the classic sliders? Just over engineering to mount to all three?

Heat released the red loctite reducing the risk of breaking the bolt upon removal. The keepers are plastic but we're still functional after I removed the bolts. I did not notice any issues.

Just finished Rock Hard slider install and knowing people have broken body bolts it was pretty nerve wracking getting them out. I torched them with a butane torch for about a minute or so front and middle and a little longer in the back as those bolts are pretty long. Was able to get them out...

LOD Skid Plate JL/JT - $60 22901 Description: This product is for those who already have the LoD Mid-Width or Full-Width front winch bumper and want to add the skid plate. The skid plate will bolt to the bottom of the bumper and underneath the frame cross-member to provide extra protection...

Just installed LoD Signature Mid Width. Pretty easy install. Hardest thing was getting the nuts started - tough to get a hand back where needed. Instructions were crystal clear and easy to follow. Winch coming eventually.

Ordered from https://www.moparwholesaleparts.com/ Took a little under two weeks from order to doorstep. Ran $146.10 Under 5 minute install. Have Lange mirrors - no adjustments needed for full coverage.

Looking at the LOD mid width bumper and wondering if the frame tie in brackets. Update: Thanks to the replies below. The frame tie in brackets are indeed only needed for the towing application and not part of the bumper install...

Sadly, this will be the final update. Started the install process and ran in to fitment issues with the factory LED fog lights. Once installed the cover does not fit into place. Luckily figured this out prior to pulling everything apart. This one is headed back to DV8. I imagine this bumper...

Thanks - salty roads are minimal around here. Hopefully won't run into the same issues down the road.

Two issues upon unboxing - both my end caps were scraped down to bare metal at the edges. Very visible when in place so going to have to deal with that for sure. Ends of the bull bar were covered in rust looking dust and a bunch of it came out of the tube while unboxing mixed with some black...

Just got my DV8 modular bumper. This thread will have a few parts, spread out a bit and will conclude with an install video completed by some budding auto techs and videographer from my school. Here are photos of the unboxing to get things rolling. No instructions to be found online or in the...

35x12.5x17 - no lift

I had a NC inspection sheet in the glove box. Just need to get reinspected for VA - minor inconvenience for the savings he offers.

You get the State Inspection on your own. I'm still waiting on DMV stuff, but I understand Travis files everything with Virginia. I am still waiting for them to pay off my trade in...been three weeks. Had to pay that payment this month (I know I will get back, but still never had a trade pay...

@Sladecm - How did the install of this bumper go? Pretty close to pulling the trigger on it. Did you swap the stainless hardware? Pics?

I have the Lange and they are solid and hold up well to highway speeds. They also remain usable with minimum vibration on the road. Easy install to put mirror mount on pillar and then pop in the mirror when needed.

I am going to expand this out one more area for the back doors. Also need to wrap the bottom with some rubber strap or something to make it grippy. PVC is slippery.
