My new Rock Lizard Fabrications bumper

JL Rockies · **Posted:** Wed Nov 28, 2007 5:17 pm

I know you could put any bumper on your KJ, but why install anything else....Seriously?!

This bumper is all about manhood.

Need to tow anything?

Check out the fit & finish.

Here's pics of my new interior: Heated leather seats!

The reasons I purchased the RL bumper are:

Marty has been a part of our community for quite a while. He's wheeled with us, he's supported LOST Safari as a vendor, he's dedicated his company to producing products for the Liberty. This is not his hobby, this is how he pays his bills.

Marty has recently expanded his shop and somehow got Troy to join the team. Troy is a brilliant mechanic, painter and fabricator. All you need to do is look through his posts (and at his rig) to get an idea of how talented he really is.

My point here is Rock Lizard Fabrications has done a lot in the past and present to earn your business. Many of you guys out there have met them and it's nice to know who you're dealing with.

The quality of the product stands on it's own. The bumper is built so well that it literally slid right on and everything lined-up perfectly.

This bumper was designed in the field to address issues of wheeling with the KJ. A big one being crappy departure angles. My plastic bumper got pretty chewed up out there!

The bumper is the best blend of form and function that I've seen. I gladly paid full price for this and I am in no way benefiting by posting my opinions here. I plan to get The RL Fab front winch bumper as soon as the crew down there can make me one.

OK dont take this the wrong way......but your butt looks good, well I mean your Libertys :wink:

plus you have butt warmers, nice seats where did you get them looking for some for mine now!
No one can say that RL doesnt turn out great products for sure, someday soon i will have one of those nice looking Liberty backsides as well!

so what did you paint the bumper with? is that a pro job or is it powder coated or rattle can? looks great.. I cannot wait until RL tells me mines ready....

Believe is or not, that's rattle can Rustoleum Hammered black. I was going to get it powder coated, but this looked so good and is easier to touch up if trail rash occurs.

That does look pretty bad-ass! I would LOVE to get a set up like that at some point. I'll probably go with a front bumper and winch first though. The two aftermarket bumpers just make the KJ look so much better than stock.

I'd also like to know where you got the seats. They look pretty sweet.

Jl and or Marty,

On the tire and jerry can swing outs, the latches that hold them, are there holes for a lock? also do you have to mount the license plate on the spare? it looks like there is still room on the bumper to mount it.

Also, Function of the lift glass, is it impaired at all by the spare and the high-lift?

the bumpers really do make a huge difference I cant wait to start my rear bumper!

Ahhhhhh I think you are the one I saw yesterday when I was driving down to Provo. Nice Heep!

JL Rockies · **Posted:** Wed Nov 28, 2007 9:04 pm

The seats are stock with the addition of a Katzkin kit. My account in Orem, UT is a dealer. I picked out the colors of the leather and the stitching and sent them the artwork. The back seats are done too. The seat warmers are sweet this time of year, takes me back to Ft. Lauderdale.

The glass will not open unless you swing out the carriers.

You can mount your tag elsewhere if you wish.

Looks great. Can I get a close up of the paint job on it? My skink super sliders were just delivered this afternoon and I'm trying to decide how to finish them.

Looks good, the RL rear bumpers are amazing. They completely transform the whole Jeep. Not only do they look good but the craftsmanship is amazing.

Now I know which CRD is yours.

it seems to me that rock lizard is in some need of a new employee. An it also seems that the is some friendly competition about to heat between his and JHCRASH's bumper. Its always good to have competition. It makes people try that much harder to have a superior product. Just wish i was able to get V8 to move all the extra wieght thats getting put on
