LOD Armor Lite Shorty Front Bumper with Bull Bar and Winch Mount

[JeepLab]

We need to see a rear bumper.

LOD doesn't seem to have advertised an "armor lite" rear bumper yet. What I see are there signature series bumpers being made out of lighter high strength steel. They advertise a 21% weight savings without any sacrifice in strength. I doubt they could fudge that too much because their rear carriers hold up to a 40 inch tire. A lot of rear carriers stop at 37 inch right? Either way, I'll soon be rolling 37 KM2s and an LOD rear should leave me room for adjustment of my spare to where I need it.

LOD makes 2 options for tire carriers,

one that swings with the tailgate, and the other is for carrying more gear.

Both are cool. I like the look of the back all loaded up with fuel, and other stuff. But I HATE opening the extra gate to get to your gear.

The other side of that, is how heavy your tailgate would be with all that extra stuff.

I'd love to know the real overall weight so we could compare it to AEV and others to see how much lighter it really is.

I'm with you. 100% swing with door on my jeep. I'm in and out of the back door all the time. When I'm shopping rear bumpers, I first make sure it will hold a 37, then I make sure it opens with the door. Everything else is tertiary.
