Expedition One Dual Tire Swing Bumper Install/Review

[CookieSoup]

ITS TIME BOYS AND GIRLS!!!!

I ordered front and rear bumpers with my stimulus check months and months back 8/17/2020 is the deliver date! It will be later Monday night till i get a few pictures up then hopefully a Tuesday install. Ill get a boat load of pictures (probably not of the install process cause plenty of YouTube instructions on how to bolt on bumpers) their web site pictures 100% blow i can't believe they sell a 2500 bumper with one picture.... but i got to play with there rear bumper on a Tacoma at a local shop and its really nice plus two friends have there older JK bumpers (10 years old at this point)

Rear Bumper

Front bumper will be on the same shipping order

Front bumper

If you have a specific install question/picture request let me know

I might do a super crappy YouTube walk around and review of the bumper if people want it.

Im SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

Install went really well. Solo took 12 hours with some help at the end. I have the tire carrier to still install but I don’t have a spare mounted at the moment so not worried about it. Reverse camera bracket is crap doesn’t fit the camera cut it up a bit still can’t get it to work right. Probably going to toss it but we will see.

Would that rear bumper interfere with aftermarket fender flares such as MC?

Man that is a good looking setup. I been eyeballing the base rear bumper, but now that there is actually decent pictures I dont think it would work with my fenders. I didnt care for the front on their website, but now that I see it installed that looks great.

Not 100% sure haven't seen too many fenders in person i can get some up close pictures or measurements off a spot if that helps you?

ya i have liked all there stuff i was't super sold on the front bumper online but really didn't find anything else i liked. figured it would match and i really like it now.

With covid i'm not going to my brothers in Idaho i don't know if you were still interested in my stock rubicon bumper and or sliders anymore?

Actually I picked up the stockers local a couple weeks ago. Already added my own scratch's to hold me over until I find something aftermarket that does everything I want or I break down & fab something up.

I'm really curious to hear how tough the install was and how easy it is to swing those doors open, especially under a heavy load

Was pretty easy to install an extra hand would have been great but its still do able solo.

I can hang on the door while someone opens and closes them no problem other then my fat ass in the way.

What license plate light setup are you running?

 

[wanderer]

Does it decrease your departure angle?

 

[LaterGator]

departure angle is still limited by the hitch.

 

[CookieSoup]

The lights that come with the bumper
