Wayoflife, posted a few pictures of a green jeep that had the shorty installed in the rear. It doesn't really look bad with the stock fenders. You also get so much more departure. Decisions decisions.

I would go with the full width rear. It will provide more protection if someone decides to to hit the rear.

LOL - And that is protection everyone who lives on Long Island needs.

This is my daily driver and I dont plan to put it on the Rocks anytime soon. My plan isnt going in the Rock Crawler direction. Still, I like the idea of coming off an obstacle and not slamming the bumper. Excluding shopping carts, no such obsticles really exist like that where I live.

I need to accept whats most practical here for my situation. Thats probably the full length one. You guys are great. Thanks

Just pulled the trigger. Great thing im not married because the wife would kill me.

Mid Front Bumper / Winch Guard / Vacuum Relocation Kit / Skid Plate
Full Rear Bumper / Door Linked / With Reverse Lights

Both have the zinc coating.
Will ship in about 3-4 weeks.

Chris at LOD was awesome!

PS - They actually sent a bumper to a laboratory for Salt testing. The Zinc coating really proved to be a good protectant against salt.
