Look closely, there is a light above the plate on the carrier model and to the left of the plate on the non carrier bumper.

Another quality product from Jim! Just can't wait to get a roof rack for the first generation X!

thanks I see it now...

Jim,

what's the current estimated ship date for the rear bumper and skids for the first batch?

When I talked to him on Friday (I think), he said 3-4 weeks and both the skid plates and bumper should ship around the same time.

Wow, that's cutting it close to ECXC. I hope they get here before then.

I called Jim on June 12th to check on my order from May 9th (rear bumper and T/C skid). He said it would be and additional 3-4 more weeks before they ship. Personally, I'm not expecting to see this order until sometime in August.

It's painful but whatcha gonna do. Jim explained the process and I kewl with it. It's get here when it gets here. I'll just work on other stuff in the mean time.

Hmm, I wonder if offering Jim more money will get me the skids and bumper here before the 2nd week in July.

I atleast need skids as I ripped my tank skid up this past weekend.

I'm sitting here biting my nails waiting on the #$@!% laser cutter. I actually offered to pay them more to bump us up on the bumpers and skids, but no luck.

Getting them to you by 2nd week in July is cutting it close, but looks like there is a possibility of it. Call me about a week before you have to have them and we'll se where things are.

Thanks Jim. I am sure if it was up to you they would be in peoples hands now. If I can at least get the skids before ECXC I'll be happy. It scares me not having them, and it would be a long tow home. I am leaving the morning of July 19th. I'll toss them on bare if I have to.

Is there a possibility of adding a jerry tank carrier on the swing-away? Can it be added by you guys or will I have to buy one and do it myself?

Thanks

That's what I want to hear more about.

I think it's a trade off (clearance vs utility.) I have seen the advantages of Shrockworks high and tight swing away vs Skid Row's first hand. Both are fine bumpers but the Shrockworks bumper is much better when dropping off ledges and such. I think Jim has stayed true to his hardcore wheeling designs with this product and I would not be willing to give up the clearance for fuel tanks which I could mount in a different location.

The only place it will fit and still be able to open the hatch is b/t the vehicle and the tire. That pushes the tire way out away from the vehicle.

Example:



I realize a few people that really want jerry cans on the rack, but it just isn't the way I wanted to go with it for the reasons MMNIAC mentioned.

There is a product I can get you that will allow you to attach one to the spare tire though if you want....like this:

Production on 2005+ Rear bumpers has begun! <2 weeks till shipping on all current orders!

Thanks Jim for the update!

It sounds like I won't have the rear bumper for the Rubicon trip but maybe I'll need a new rear bumper after the trip anyways

I hope I have it in time for Camp Wamp...first week of August. Which means I need it @ least a week before that.

Jim, pretty please???
