Lo
Good, solid product, but still, at $189 for what it is, too steep. Other low profile options?
For low profile, not that I’ve seen. Most of them are the big 8x8 or 10x10-looking step and plate combos.

I am curious - is that the stock stance, or modified suspension - and what tires.
Trying to figure out why it looks so different than expected. Maybe it's my allergy-fogged eyes, maybe lack of a second coffee - or maybe, it's not exactly as dealer delivered. But something has me looking at it with some admiration.
Your eyes and lack of caffeine have not deceived you. It is modified with the Clayton 2.5” lift, with BFG KO2’s.

Thanks. It's got a good look to it.

That looks good. Waiting for my bulletpoint cell phone mount to arrive. Finished the grab handles. Also received the locks for the door hinges. They go one this weekend. Next strip will be the a pillar lights since we plan boondock towing and know sooner or later we will arrive late and need them for off the beaten path.

Installed the Badlands Apex winch and a Tractor Supply 13" led light bar. Decided to go under the hoop with the light bar.

Installed Steer Smarts sector shaft brace and Yeti XD Track Bar with the HD poly bushings. Cutting the tab off the reinforcement bracket on the Mojave was easy, what wasn’t was that the thickness of the reinforcement bracket necessitated grinding down the brace mount where is slides next to the coil bucket. Other than that, pretty straightforward.

Next day immediately took it out to my first Badge of Honor trail, Hidden Falls Adventure Park.

Ugh, this is why I keep coming back to getting a full width ARB bumper even though stubbys looks cooler and are way cheaper. How bad was the damage?
I think with a full width bumper the bumper would have been damaged enough that it would have had to be replaced. I kind of look at it like an opportunity to upgrade my steering knuckles as they were the weakest link in this scenario. The cost of the upgraded knuckles is still less than replacing an ARB bumper.

I had a full width ARB bumper and winch on one of my JKs. I loved that thing. Definitely built well and would probably take more than a camry to dent. The weight of that thing was substantial, that with the steel cable winch made for a seriously heavy front end. Pics are prior to lift install.

Installed my MP Concepts Stubby Bumper. Brush guard and MOPAR Light Mounts from Amazon.

The bumper came with one sheet of instructions which I ignored. I followed Extreme Terrain's install video.

That bumper is cool - aluminum, and the price isn't bad, either.
Interesting note - the winch plate shown in their pictures looks like the one I got - even the brackets look about the same.
