I've found it to work really well, and it looks awesome. With windows up it is very quiet, almost like the full top is on. Even at highway speeds 80mph.
At first I was skeptical because the middle panel looses its rear hold downs, and you can actually move the back of it up and down a little...
I opted for the Lobo winch bumper, which has the same design ethos and backbone structure. I was really impressed at how light weight they managed to make a winch bumper yet not sacrifice strength where its needed.
Got my winch bumper on yesterday. Super stoked with its tidy packaging and design. I wanted to avoid a super heavy front bumper + winch and this is just the ticket. Plus it looks great!
Hey all, I have a set of stock skid plates available for $300 picked up in Santa Clara. Includes the front bash plate + mounting brackets, engine skid, and axle/swaybar skid.
The transmission cross member braces are pretty vulnerable, have bent edges that seem to catch everything. Mine quickly got hit. So I covered them up with the JCR trans skid, which also necessitated the front/engine skid to go with it.
These came off my Badlands with about 7k miles. Front skid, engine skid, and trans/axle skid and intercooler mounts included. Also comes with hardware/bolts. $300 picked up in Santa Clara, CA
Have this exact issue. Nasty mildew smell had me searching for wetness. There's been non-stop rain in NorCal I assumed it was a water leak, but I could see it being due to the humidity and muffler heating causing condensation as well. That makes more sense to me since I haven't seen any other...
Nice build, and cool pics. Another NJ native here, I've done some wheeling in a quarry near Toms River, and also in the Pine Barrens like 15+ years ago.
I had a day 2 reservation for a BD. I was immediately sold on the MGV interior, and the fact that it came stock with a rear locker was great. I was unsure if I would even add Sasquatch, but I was never a fan of the steelies.
Over the 2+ year wait, I watched many videos and reviews and...
@Lobo Off-Road you've mentioned tube work will be optional in the future. If I were to order now, could the bar be added later?
What is current lead time for a bumper?
