Hmm... I was desperate for AEV to release the bumper and put it on my Jeep before it ships to the UK as I am a huge AEV fan. As it happens they weren't able to so I had the Expedition One fitted instead. I was happy I had when I saw AEV's rear effort in Moab as also I don't think the rear is a great match with AEV's front bumper. The water container is gimmicky to me and the design too fussy. How much is it anyway?

 

The price and production date are still closely guarded secrets. On the AEV forum this this is asked over and over again but never answered.

It's funny because people also keep asking for pictures directly from the back, they are always taken a little to the side. This is because they do not want you to see that the tire is a little to the side and not in the middle.

 

Ya I can see that little water tank getting lost or stolen or even smashed in a really good roll or something.....wonder how much they want for a replacement.

I personally dont like the looks of it either, but Ive seen worse.

 

They have been more than honest letting people know that it is offset, even though they come offset from the factory to help reduce the stress on the hinges. It will also be adjustable so you could center it if desired.

 

I wasn't hugely impressed but it is growing on me... just can't believe how much people seem to be bashing what is a very well known and comendable company. If you don't like it, don't run it. Funny how everyone is an expert on how a bumper should look or function but not one of you is building any fuggin bumpers... geez

 

Never claimed to be an expert, I just know what I want in a bumper… somehow a big water bottle is not exactly at top of the list. If you look at my signature you will see that I am an AEV fan, that doesn't mean that I have to like everything they produce.

 

considering I didn't call you out personally I'd say there is a reason you thought I did

 

You seemed to be a little confused by peoples response in general so thought I would help to enlighten you.

 

ah the grasshopper has confused himself with the master

 

I personally like it but I know its going to be expensive so I wont be buying it and I dont think it really matches the design of the front bumper. It would look good on my jeep I think though.
