I'm pretty sure that you also have to have the rear Body Armor bumper too.

Nothing about this on their website. Maybe just too new to have up yet. Are those pictures from the 08 SEMA?

Do you think it will work with an Expedition one trail series bumper?

Looking at the rear bracket it appears the problem with any rear bumper would be if it was full length and wrapped around the rear corners. A stubby aftermarket would probably work

edit: of course there's always the "utility knife" route ;O)

Got an email a couple months ago saying this was going to be released in March. Does anyone have a dealer for the Recon Rack? Thanks.
