Innovations built into this bar include the all new gas strut assisted carrier arm opening system with hold-open lock for increased safety in rough terrain, sealed LED lighting modules for reliable longlife performance in all conditions, adjustable spare wheel mount to accommodate wider than standard tyres, heavy duty carrier arm pivots with dust and weather sealed roller bearings to maintain a lifetime of smooth operation and a tough carrier arm locking mechanism with rock solid weight support brackets to ensure a vibration free and reassuringly definite lockup during travel.

looks like they thought about your issue already!

I don't mind the occasional officer wanting to meet me but not sure I wanna deal. This does look pretty sweet...now have to figure out a relocation solution.
When the ball buster pulls you over you show him your operational L.E.D. reverse, stop/park & indicator lights built into the bumper. Heck, he'll see them when you signal to pull over after he whoop whoops you and stop. Then he'll probably give you a "nice Jeep" and let yo go on your way.

I understand what you're saying, but like I stated in my previous post, it all depends on your local (state) laws.

I manage nearly 2000 vehicles in my fleet and need to be up to par with our vehicle regs.

So what your saying is that towing a trailer that blocks your tail lights, although it has it's own tail lights, could be illegal in some states, unless you remove the original tail lights from the vehicle?

Same concept. Just using it as an example. I'm not getting into a pissing match with you about this. I'm going to use my time to read some useful threads on here, although, that is a kickass bumper.

The trailer post wasn't a well thought out idea of a post, no offense. The trailer would (or suppose to have) rear functional stop, turn and tail lights at the back of it! Now if you have a tire or whatever the case is blocking your stop, turn and tail light and you aren't pulling a trailer this is where the concern of legality we are talking about.

The bumper has visible lights built into it, visible by all.

Is it me or do these pictures look kind of funny? They almost look photo shopped. Not to mention the second pic is bugging me out...it looks like the tire carrier is angled as if it is swinging to the left when the hinge is on the right side? Unless they have the highlift and other stuff mounted on the outside of the tire.... I gotta stop taking those crazy pills.

Default What the...

Ummm...yea....look at the second pic....there are definitely a few things off on that. Photo shopped like a mf'er. Just look at the rear tail light for one. It's totally facing the side of the jeep...I wouldn't trust this at all. something is very weird about it.
