The Shorty Signature series is selling well and it seems that they will discontinue the midwidth that they currently show on their site. They will have a new midwidth.

For those thinking about ordering you may want to do so now.

I quoted this from my other post.

I personally think the expedition one trail series is the best looking full width bumper made. I have seen it in person and it's well built. My question is where did you find for $899!?!? I want that bumper soooo bad.

Just installed the Expedition One Trail Series front and rear. Extremely high quality and excellent customer service. Worth every dime!

I've seen the LOD in person as well and you can see the quality difference. The welds are much sloppier and it just looks cheaper.

Have to disagree on teh qualtiy of the LOD. It is top notch. The EXP ONE is a nice bumper but does not justify the price. The angels on ti dont look "Jeep" either. ALl that being said, these were the two I was deciding between

I can't talk about the mid width but I just installed an LoD Shorty. The quality is great. I have a Warn Powerplant and its a nice fit. I'm happy.
