For those researching rear bumpers. I’ve been dealing with LOD and the Destroyer for a few weeks. I waited 40 days for delivery. Instructions were not completely accurate. Went to use the trailer hitch, and found the pin hole not level. The pin goes through itself, but using a bike rack, etc it’s misaligned. Short story after multiple exchanges with LOD, they offered to replace it but I’m on the hook for removing, boxing it, reinstalling it (7 hour process the first time at $125/hour) and being without a street legal vehicle for another month (no license plate, 3rd brake light, bumper). Not even a % discount for poor quality or trouble. Buyer beware I guess. #LOD #LODDestroyer
BEAST Projects I replaced my gears twice in one month. First shop didn’t install them correctly i had to involve my bank to get my money back. My Jeeps bottom was covered with gear oil and on the top of everything the mechanic somehow dropped a lug nut inside my front diff hub.
Does the bezels for the rear lights come with the bumper...the face of the rigid lights I have don't have the wings to attach to the bracket...they are just square.
After installing this lod rear bumper with swing tire carrier, do you hear any sounds like clunking, vibration, or hitting a bump while driving? Also when you open the tailgate door, does it feel like stuck hard to open? Can do a full depth video demonstration walk around from left to right and under and open the tailgate door and separate the the swing tire carrier from the tailgate door? Also Open the tailgate door with swing tire carrier all the way where it hit the stopper for swing tire carrier?
Did you get this figured out i just installed mine and it sounds like it is clunking if I hit a bumb on the road adjusted it like 10 times now and the noise is still there
I like your videos. Appreciate all the good information. I’m thinking of installing the same bumper. When removing the stock bumper the bottom part of the plastic fender liner is also removed. Did you replace it with something else to keep dirt/mud etc from getting up into the wiring and lights? Is there a way to reuse the stock pieces? Thanks
You have to pull the rear trim panel off your tailgate, unplug/remove the stock camera wire & replace it with the LoD camera wire. You will have to separate the loom to remove the stock camera wire to make it look nice.
@@BEASTProjects gotcha. Thought there was to it from his comments other then removing the wire for cleaner look. Should have a meet up at Dambrosio once this all blows over
nice bumper! and having a list of products in the description is another bonus. There's way too many parts to sort through without information provided by you guys
what is the weight differential between stock and your set-up. I love the look and functionality of the LoD Destroyer parts, especially the tire carrier.
I just received my full width Destroyer! I’m guessing the install is similar. Did you have to buy the camera relocation option? I only bought the license plate so far. I’ve been waiting over a month for it to ship.
Was this really filmed before the shelter in place order.... bumper looks good. Jaime does a good job. Curious how much that all weighs though. Looks heavy.
Yes, it was filmed several weeks prior. I have a lot of pending video footage to edit, because of my FT job, I only upload 1-2 times a week. It’s definitely heavy in comparison to the stock JL bumper.
They’re in the view of the middle sensors, because the tire is wide at 13.5” & the new carrier also makes it sticks out further from the normal stock carrier location.
I got steel bumpers on my JLR. I don't understand how they made the front bumper so awesome but the rear is a POS. I'm looking at some aluminum rear bumpers because I want to keep my 2 door light as possible.

Thank you 🙏🏻 Be safe, bro!
Is there any special mount for a CB Radio in cab so it’s out of the way ? Seen your Antenna in the bumper?
I have ordered the same setup for my JK. Got the stubby. It has arrived, but I wont be home until March. Build parts are a stackin' up.
Love the LOD Bumper....looks manly tough now...lol....it's always nice to see the guys at the JP Shop.....nice video
Thanks Mike... Hope you’re doing well.
@@BEASTProjects doing well....so far....lol
Where did you get the license plate bracket
Motobilt
How’s the bumper holding up? Would you buy again?
Prior to this did you have the bigger wheel/tire on the stock tailgate hinges!? And no issues with the added weight?

Just replaced my clutch on my JL . Next project is gears,axels,brakes and lod destroyer bumper :)
Nice, we’ll be doing a gear swap soon.

Oh damn!! That’s no good
Why did you pick the short than full?
That's a slick bumper. Well thought out.
Exactly why I like it so much. 😊
Love the rear bumper
Does the bezels for the rear lights come with the bumper...the face of the rigid lights I have don't have the wings to attach to the bracket...they are just square.
This specific RI light does.
great choice on the bumper, looks good.
Thank you
I also have issues with the reverse lights. Did you figure it out? Thanks
This bumper looks really good ! 👍🏻
It’s fitting for the RUBIBEAST.. It’s beefy

Hi Jay, I’m planning a follow up video on it, because we sort of skipped over the camera install. As for you concerns, mine is functioning flawlessly.
Did you get this figured out i just installed mine and it sounds like it is clunking if I hit a bumb on the road adjusted it like 10 times now and the noise is still there
Nice, Just ordered the Front and rear Destroyer. This helped prep me for install. Will check out your website.
Glad to help. Pay close attention to the rear camera instructions. We sort of skipped that in the video.
@@BEASTProjects Don't have rear camera or the sensors. '16 JKUR

Thank you,, no we didn't reuse those stock pieces.
Can you go more into the wiring of the camera extension? Have my set up delivered and waiting for a decent day to throw it on.

We can do that or at the Jp Shop.

I can tell you it weighs a lot more than the flimsy OEM wrangler bumper.
I believe the LOD system is over 200lbs. Its what I want, but damn its heavy
Are you sti pleased with this ?
Love the bumper! What kind of wheels are those? Lookin sharp!
Thanks, Fuel Baja’s..

I did... I'll be doing a follow up video on it in a few weeks.
BEAST Projects is the relocation required for it still to work on 37” tire?
Looks great!
Great looking bar. Does it rattle or move as my current 35 puts lot of stain on the tailgate...Steve 🇦🇺
Can you tell me about your CB antenna mount?
Yup, here’s the video: th-cam.com/video/EVXY6buxXPI/w-d-xo.html

Yes, it was filmed several weeks prior. I have a lot of pending video footage to edit, because of my FT job, I only upload 1-2 times a week. It’s definitely heavy in comparison to the stock JL bumper.
Why does width of the tire interfere with the sensors?
They’re in the view of the middle sensors, because the tire is wide at 13.5” & the new carrier also makes it sticks out further from the normal stock carrier location.
Did the sensors beep without the spare? I’ll test tomorrow as I’m also installing this
Nope, they work fine.
I got steel bumpers on my JLR. I don't understand how they made the front bumper so awesome but the rear is a POS. I'm looking at some aluminum rear bumpers because I want to keep my 2 door light as possible.
I agree!! I thought about aluminum myself, but there wasn’t a lot of options for what I needed.
Sweet
Does the hinge come with a stop to prevent the tire carrier from swinging into the body on the back lower?
There's a stop plate mounted in the bumper to prevent that.
Second first after Dixie... 😬👋🏻
You can still make videos. You should have a mask to wear. I have a feeling you have a few. LOL
Haha I do, thanks buddy!
