How much is a new one? That would be the deciding factor for me. If it works well I wouldn't care if it was an older design. Maybe the price is negotiable

If it's in good shape then its a pretty decent deal. I would offer $750 cash and see what he says

I asked for 750 and he isn't budging. He said he doesn't even have to sell it.. He just WANTS the LoD short signature series rear bumper and tire carrier instead of the full width.. So I'm gonna go check it out this week and if all is good then I'll buy it! Can't wait!!

Default LoD Full Width Rear bumper w Gen 1 Tire Carrier / LoD Front Shorty Bumper w Skid

I'm the local guy with the LoD Full Width rear bumper and Gen 1 tire carrier. I was considering keeping the bumper and upgrading to the Gen 3 tire carrier, but I spoke to Chris at LoD today and he said the tire carriers between Gen 1 and Gen 3 are not interchangeable and that the tire carriers are pretty much made to the bumper specifications.

Therefore since I am ordering a new 2012 JKU Rubicon, I've decided I am going to go ahead and sell my current LoD Full Width Rear bumper with Gen 1 tire carrier, and buy a new LoD rear bumper.

Also going to sell my LoD Front Shorty bumper and skid plate and order a new mid-width front for the new Rubicon.

As was reported to you in another thread by another local JK, they have seen my bumpers and they look brand new. No rock rash at all.

Let me know if interested. You've got my number. You've got first dibs before I put it on the For Sale forum.

Happy Trails ~
