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

You should read my original post again. I addressed the new team member thing as well as why I bought from RL.

Man after seeing that bumper on your rig, I really want one. My wife even liked the pictures I showed her from here. I just have to come up with the money now.

i've always wanted to get a set of katskin seats. they look super nice. How much did the kit cost? did you do the install yourself?

i'd like to see pics of the tire swing and jerry/lift out as well... as many pics as you can get...

I know you said earlier that the glass does not open with the carriers closed. My question is if it is hitting on the carrier or the actual Jack or tire? Thanks

Looks great mate, tell me, do you need to add a spring spacer to the rear left as the tyre now sits to one side??

Oh.....yes....please get your KJ to flash us.

Sorry that may not have been clear, I'm wondering if the extra weight of the tyre to one side would make it dip a little on that side.

My retailer charges $2500 installed (with seat heaters). The corporate logo I had put in is extra, but I am not sure how much, they go by thread count. I traded product with them for their demo vehicle.
The front seats also have map pockets so now I have somewhere to put my wireless headphones for the video system. That's the main reason for them really

Thanks TJ...that sure is a hefty sucker isnt it?....hey it almost looks like you could carry a few peices of wood on the roof rack to fit between the swing away carriers when they are open. Im thinking mobile work bench???

work bench, yes that would be good but I am thinking tailgate party, make up a table to go across there and have your tailgatting party up and running in no time! :wink:

heck yeah....take that hilift off of there and throw a grill on instead!

or a keg during the winter months.

For anyone that has this bumper I know it was said earlier that the glass does not open with the carriers closed. My question is if the glass is hitting on the Tire carrier or the actual tire? And if there would be anyway to make it so the glass does clear?

When will we see pictures of the RL front bumper? Or will the front look very similar to the teaser photo on Rock Lizard’s website?

You can use girly-man tires and the glass will clear. The glass didn't clear my spare when it was still on the stock carrier.
Not sure why it's important, even if the glass did clear, the tire would still be in the way.
