You have to order the 1/4 pounder bumper itself and the stinger bolts to that correct? and the stinger piece is separate?

By the way is there a reason you dont offer this with fogs? Didnt know if maybe it compromises something in the design

Thanks

UPDATE**
nevermind I saw you mentioned to order both the bumper and stinger. sorry
No problem,

There is no room for fog lights on this bumper, Its designed to give the highest clearance possible. Which meant removing the stock fog lamps. We do have light mount that attaches to the fairlead for after market fog lamps.

Thanks for the clarification. You guys make some great products, the coilover systems are awesome!

I don't have a front bumper yet, but from what I've researched, I'd go with EVO. Both are great manufacturers, but I find Evo's style and function suits my needs better. Hope that helps, even a little bit!

I like my lod, but I also really like the look of the Evo that I saw on a bunch of the jkx rigs at the meet and greet. I'm happy with the Lod and I got a great deal on it on Craigslist so I'm happy with it.

Don't know if you've made a decision yet, but I love the look and build quality of the EVO.
The LOD was my second choice.

Wow...Evo built jeep. Off topic question, do you have noise issues with the Rigid lightbar and the soft top? The noise is bugging me and I'm getting weird cabin pressure too with the 50" light bar and my Trektop NX.

In a roll over you protect your engine and radiator so u can get off the trail under your own power ans u can push stuff out of the way

Just ordered my EVO 1/4 Pounder and Stinger on Monday. After researching a BUNCH of different bumpers, the EVO seemed to be the best designed. I looked at Hanson, LoD, Poison Spyder, Shrockworks, EVO, and Warn, among numerous others. The EVO is the beefiest and has the best clearance. The LoD stinger tube looks flimsy and the incorporation into the bumper itself is not well designed. I'd be interested to see it after a roll over...

So, EVO got my vote!
