Anyone have the LOD Destroyer Rear Bumper w/ Tire Carrier?

Great pictures in this thread. Some close-up pictures of the powder coating would be helpful, too.

I'm sold on this bumper/tire carrier. Just a question of when...

I just started my install last night! Ive been working way to many hours couldn't even get to it. Took awhile to get it level. I'll post more pic's when I can. I messed up my oil seal so I have to find one today [emoji35]

How are you wiring your lights and where are you putting the switch?

I was thinking about using a 3 position rocker switch (auto, on, off) possibly on the pillar.
 
The more I look at this bumper and tire carrier, the more appealing it gets. Seems like the install might be a little tricky based on what people have posted. I'd like to hear a few more reviews before pulling the trigger.

Hey Edwrds, sorry I hadn't checked back on the forums. Life got super busy. I messed up my oil seal too, so I had to get a replacement: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/...43694-P?cm_mmc=ET-_-Trans-_-Shipped-_-General. It's the same seal just using its parent company name.

Or I actually bought an extra just in case I messed up again if you live in the Austin area :)

Hey, we're here to help! The yellow plate may not need to be all the way out, if it is out that far, your carrier arm may not be close enough. The carrier arm plate DOES need to be slightly tilted towards the vehicle as stated in the instructions. Just having it level may not allow enough pressure by the guide rod on the yellow plate. Keep tinkering! :cool:

What they said :). I had a little rattle with the latch plate too. It wasn't 100% pushed all the way in. Definitely took me adjusting driving over a bump in the neighborhood 3 or 4 times to get the noise gone.

Didn't measure truth be told; I added some lock tight as stated in the directions and tightened it down pretty good, but didn't go crazy. I checked where everything was fitting together prior to adding the lock tight or getting too tight. It is super important, as the directions say, to make sure the arm is flush with the bumper.

Looks great Edwrds! What made it a pain in the ass to install? Did you get their front bumper as well?
 
The directions are not the greatest. They want the carrier flush with the bumper , but when it's flush the rubber stops aren't long enough. Neither is the gold bracket thing. Also getting the bumper level was challenging .Could be just me. I consider myself a good mechanic been wrenching and racing off-road pretty much my whole life. First test drive it has a little rattle, but I know where it's coming from and will fix it.

Thank you. I think so to they make a great product. Still need to get some of the accessories that you can add on. Little at a time. Need sliders next.

My local shop quoted me $375 for install including the wiring... Worth it?

Depends on how mechanical inclined you are. I prefer to do the install myself. Wish I could give you more advice. But if you need help just pm me or post on this thread.
