3rd gen rear bumper love

I'll have to grab a picture later on. I finally got my rear bumper Line-X'd and mounted. I had to wait for some items I sourced elsewhere to show up. But I am so happy that someone pushed me toward you guys.

From order to delivery, the process was easy and quick. I was actually surprised when I got tracking information.

I'm big about attention to details and this bumper pleases. From the threaded license plate bolt holes to the beautiful welds, this bumper is great. I like the latching mechanism and the stainless slider for the spring pins. I unfortunately didn't notice the rubber bumper until after the Line-x was applied, but it peeled off pretty easily.

I have two minor gripes: The license plate light mounting method I wasn't all that enthusiastic about. Don't get me wrong, it works, but I was hoping they would just clip into the bumper for the more OEM look. Or maybe I just did it wrong (see instructions)?

The instructions for the swingout need a little updating. And while the bumper portion is pretty cut and dry, it couldn't hurt to include something. I know from experience that this kind of thing can be hard to write, but I have hardware left that I still have no idea if I was supposed to use or not. Some pictures would be nice as well. A few large inner and outer diameter washers, and a smaller, fat (M8?) button head bolt. There's probably one or two other items, but those are what I remember. I went over everything in my head and as far as I can tell everything is where it belongs.

Anyway.... overall this is a great bumper and I smile every time I see it. Good work!

 

Although this is a CBI HCRB I retrofitted the 4x innovations swingout diy kit to it and absolutely love it.
