    Ok so here goes nothing,

    I made a decision to buy the new 4 wheel parts bumpers. I did so in stages mainly because I wanted to see the quality of the parts before buying the full bumpers. Once I held the front bumper wings I knew these parts were good quality. After working through the issues I have come to like them a lot. As with any new part that has limited support ie: write ups, Pics, Youtube etc. Would I recommend them?? Yeah I would. Why? quality, pricing, availability, shipping cost to the EAST COAST, design "personal preference"

    I was on the fence about other vendors but the only bumpers "I LIKED" are fabricated on the WEST COAST which drove the shipping cost up... And getting issues fixed would become a nightmare like I have seen others go through.

    Issues I had:
    Rear:
    - Cover plates that go over the rear light bar cut outs have been pulled from the production items. Which means you will not get these
    - overland table spring loaded pin was faulty

    Front:
    instructions could be a little better. I installed shims when they were not needed. Which goes back to the instructions.


    I HOPE THIS POST HELPS SOMEONE!!!

    They look great!
    Is the coating thick and not too thin from what you can tell?

    I love a good swing out bumper. Mind if I ask the cost?

    Looks awesome! I've been eyeballing these as well and might pull the trigger if/when they come back in stock. I'm guessing you lose BSM/parking sensor compatibility with the swingouts?

    That front bumper is REAL desirable!:101010:

    If I didn't have mine I would do this in a heart beat. Nice of you to take one for the team and really try it out first. I bet this is going to be popular!:cheers:

    Those look good. They may be hard to catch in stock for a while.

    Thanks,
    The coating seems ok by what I can tell. What I like is that it matches the OEM Plastic parts very well.

    The Cost was about 990.00 for the complete front bumper and about 2100.00 for the complete rear setup. These are ball park numbers by what I can remember. I have a 4WP store about 40 min from my house which helped with shipping which was FREE.

    Yes, you lose the BSM but the backup sensors still work. I haven't had many issues with those. My plan for the BSM is to relocate the sensors inside my camper shell. Waiting on connectors to show up in order for me to build a custom harness to relocate these sensors.

    The camera gets relocated just below the license plate it gets protected from damage and I really like the placement and view it provides over stock. I can take a picture and upload it anyone has interest in seeing the view the new camera location provides.
