    Are you running the 3" lift coils? Just a FYI it's highly recommended that you do not pre-load a lift coil with the 5100's with anything other than your stock springs....stuff will break.

    as per bilstein lifts, the eibach coils are fine on the 2nd c clip setting. anything more than that will cause damage.

    Did you track it or does it say a label was created?

    Someone selling knock off bumpers for $1200 isn't exactly going to get bombarded with business just because they're $300 cheaper than a legitimate, quality product.

    Nobody who couldn't afford bumpers yesterday isn't going to buy them today just because this thread got made, and realistically, someone who has been putting money aside for bumpers already has a brand they want, that isn't a mystery gamble on what you receive, has better fit and finish and attention to detail, and has a proven track record of providing good product with good service.

    I don't know why it keeps being said this KO Offroad is going to get "blown up" with orders, when the demand for lower quality knockoffs is low for things that prevent serious damage to vital components when you're in the middle of nowhere.

    For the guys pounding pavement it's a cheaper ticket to Poserville, I suppose, but really.. nobody is going to be banging down this guys door with a wad of cash because they can save 20% compared to a better product, particularly when all the black Friday and Christmas sales are 20% and often include free shipping to begin with.

    Hopefully it's a decent enough buy despite the obvious issues in the pics, but "blowing up this seller?" Not in a million years.

    Let's wait till these guys get the bumpers first before we start claiming these are junk and whatnot.. maybe they are awesome.. maybe they are complete shit.. :notsure:

    I'm still curious because.. well.. who wouldnt be at a 600 dollar bumper.. lol

    Tru dat. Even if fitment is perfect and quality is supreme.

    For the street queens it's a mixed bag. Might be a great investment for minor accidents and deer splats.

    Or it could be a truck total-er for a heavy accident when the frame buckles.

    Hopefully all works out nicely for the buyers. Will be interesting to see how easy the install goes and how rugged the piece is.

    Honestly bro, not bashing ya or anything... But I have been wanting a bumper for a while and have been turned away due to pricing. I was about to order an avid bumper guard, then I saw this thread, saw the product, saw the price. I contacted them and saw their customer service and decided to jump on it while the price is low.

    That's all good. But that's 3 orders so far as we know, which is all I was saying.

    He won't be seeing a hoard of TW members demanding to spend money like at least 2 have suggested.

    As much as I'd like it to work out for everyone buying one of these potential knockoffs (see in as Allpro hasn't said anything yet), I wouldn't call just being able to reach a guy on the phone to lay down some $$$ a testament of customer service. Now if someone receives one of these and it's a total piece of shit and the dude selling them does right, that's a testament of customer service.

    Everyone seems to be focusing on the guy answering phone calls and shit....yeah a douche canoe named skygear did the same thing too and look how that went. I don't think it will play out like that though considering the jeep guys have made successful buys from this eBay seller.
