4wheelparts new bumpers installed PIC HEAVY!!!

there is a storage box behind the license plate so it could be done!!!

 

The front bumper isnt too heavy... I understand your concern

 

The logo can be removed the ones that are laser but into the bumper are pretty stealth. Im thinking of removing them myself!

 

OP, Any longer term reviews? I found myself looking at them this morning online and am seriously interested. Where at in NC are you!? I am about 30 minutes east of Raleigh.

 

Update: so I had to get rid of my hitch mounted tire swing as they would not work with the bumper. Therefore, I had to delete my BSM. Not happy I had to but something I just gotta live with. That meant I had to get the a swing out at least on one side so I could mount my tire. I ended up getting both passenger and driver swingouts. So far it’s been good. I mounted the C4 rotopax/maxtrax mount. It fits directly over the swingouts. However, due to the angle of the swing out from 4WP, I had to use 1 inch spacers so it wouldn’t hit my canopy. This part is not needed if you’re not running a bed rack or rooftop tent that sticks out way in the back. I had to do that due to the RLD canopy’s design as it is flat.

 

How hard is it to put on and take off the swing gate? I don't want to carry the extra weight of the swing gate full time, just when I go overlanding.

 

I didn’t do mine but I saw the 4WP guys do it. They had two people and this is without the table and any other attachments. It’s 95 pounds and you have to line them up on the hole/hinge area. So unless you’re super strong, I suggest you have someone help you.

 

Looks awesome!!

 

I've been thinking about doing this, have the 4WP's front bumper and really dig it. Maybe its time I pull the trigger. =)

 

For those wondering about the powder coat . I have the bumper ( no swing outs yet ) and it has held up perfectly to heavy road salt and general winter crap in Ontario Canada .

 

Wish I could say the same for my Body Armour rear bumper. Hardware started rusting immediately and now same with the bumper itself.

Gonna have to rustpaint the hell out of it this summer.

 

Beautiful build! How are you liking the 4wp swing outs?

 

Well actually…..

Made in Thailand not China. Same as the wings.
Just picked mine up today. Very excited to install

 

And it’s not copycat. Label says engineered in USA, just made in Thailand for cost reasons. Yes it would be better if made in USA also but price is important for a lot of folks.

 

Looks like a copy to me.

 

And your avatar looks like John Wayne but I am pretty sure you aren’t.

 

Dam that front bumper looks good! For the rear bumper if you dont get the swing outs, can you keep the BSM?

 

100% American made

 

Here's my setup with the 4wp front bumper. Still have to install the rear.

So far so good, I'm impressed by it all. It's paired with the Smittybilt X20 Gen3 and they go together nicely. There's definitely somethings that are annoying and or poorly designed on it but it all came together well enough and I'm satisfied with it. One thing I will note for people who want to run lights and a winch...it won't work there's no way to get your hand to the winch unless you put you hands through the light pod cutouts so if those are occupied good luck. Furthermore I've been told it doesn't pair as well with the TRD Pro skid plate but it does fit seamlessly on the stock one and even follows the contours and ridges. Digging it so far, ask any questions you have!

 

@drktacoma did you have to do any cutting on the front valance to get the front bumper bit in? Interested to see what happens on the back end.

Cheers,

Doc
