Default LOD bumpers

I just received my JK on Saturday.. I am looking at ordering front and rear bumpers for it within the next two weeks. can't decide if I want to LOD shorty or the Mid width... I do know I want the hoop on it.. Anyone have any pics of them installed?

Thanks in advance

I just got my LOD Shorty today. I'm installing it as we speak.
Let me just say......It's Bad A$$. It looks so good in person. Much better than any of the pic.s I've seen.

I'll post some pic.s shortly

Looking forward to the pics.

Did you measure the dimensions of it (Height, Width, Depth)? Also did you get the skid?

No I haven't ordered the Rear Bumper yet. I'm pretty sure it's still in the developement stage and isn't available yet.

Yes I bought the skid plate also.

No I have not taken any dimensions yet.

It's taking me a while to get it on because I'm recovering from shoulder surgery. I'm doing everything one handed so it's taking a while....sorry

I just have to put the front grill back on and install the skid plate and I'll get some preliminary pic.s.
I'll definitely get better ones during the daylight tomorrow.

Please be patient with the one armed gimp...hahahahaa

Cibach - Shorty’s let you climb up on rocks using your tires without having to worry about the bumper getting in the way. Also I seem to accumulate a lot of mud inside on the bumper in front of the tire - not a problem with a Shorty.

Ok here's one pic for tonight. I'll take more tomorrow.

I haven't installed the skid plate yet. I'm getting pretty tired and my shoulder is starting to ache.
