Thanks for the pics, it looks good. We're you able to reinstall the front skid plate? I can't find anywhere that says anything about it.

I have a Rubi steel take off on did not try to put the plastic air dam back on. Parts listed.
Fits great (no trimming) love the bumpers, had to use bolt lights for the tag, clean nice look, had to make the harness. Works great.

Tag harness.

Myself, I am looking at the RR Venator front bumper. But do like the HD rear bumper.

Had the HD front and rear installed. Really digging the look but wasn’t able to retain the Mojave OEM skid plate.

What skid plate is that exactly?

@Buzzlb @peterpilot379 for the rear bumper, are the bolts directly behind the shackle mounts? Is there room in the space between shackle mounts and tag area to mount flush mount led pods for rear lighting?

 

[LordEnzo]

Some say these bumpers have too thin of metal to be strong enough for trail riding. Would they be OK on moderate trails where u aren't bashing into rocks/boulders?

 

[chrismeece74]

I have no issues trail riding with this bumper, not using it as a plow.

Can’t answer your questions as I just got the bumpers on today and haven’t inspected everything fully yet. Not sure where the bolts are on rear. I had a shop put them on. As for flush mount LED pods? I have no idea how big those are or how they mount up but there is plenty of room back there to mount stuff. Just depends on the size I guess. It was suggested to me to use LED license plate bolts to illuminate the plate. I ordered said kit from Rugged Ridge. Sorry not much help.

Can you snap more pictures of your setup for scale purposes just a bit further back and from the front and front/side angles please?

Thank you!
