So, for those of you who don't know, 4WheelParts is owned by a company called Transamerica. This company owns ProComp, Smittybilt, G2, Rubicon Express and now even Poison Spyder. One of the things they've been doing recently is break down each of these companies into specific target markets and that would include wheels and tires for ProComp, axles for G2, lift kits for Rubicon Express, bumpers and armor for Poison Spyder and for Smittybilt, their target audience is "overlanders". And, for SEMA 2015, this is the "Overlander JK" that they built up and brought out to the show.

The front bumper tray is perfect for blocking cool air from flowing freely into your radiator.

Of course, every good overland needs limb risers and an exo-cage.

I almost thought these were Mastercraft Baja RS seats.

Got departure angle - er, I mean, got gas? Smittybilt Vertex System - frame mounted load carrying system.

Just saw this today and thought I should add it to the thread. Smittybilt also released a new heavy duty replacement tailgate. Check it out.

I feel the rear thing is a good idea at times for someone who needs an extra spot to carry a good load, but damn those fenders just confuse the shit out of me with those lines.
 
Would be good for Overlanding up here in Canada in the Prairies as it is nothing but flat land for a thousand kilometres.
 
WTF? Pretty much the opposite of everything I'd do for an expedition type vehicle. No need for all the scaffolding and what's with that front bumper? Completely impractical.

Yep those lines - kinda make me sea sick, plus seems like a lot of steel to bolt on and carry around!
 
The thing that upset me the most is the fact that transamerica now owns poison spyder like wtfffff
 
Only thing I could see that front "bumper?" being useful for is hunting. Install two chairs and it would work wonderfully on a safari. Other than that, no, just no.
 
Does the jungle gym have to go all the way to the A pillars, or can it stop at the B or C pillars?
