Default LOD front bumper

Anyone that has purchased the LOD bumpers (especially the front one)? How long did it take for the bumper to arrive? I see the site states it's a long lead time for most orders.. Is it true?

Also, how technical is the install on these with a winch? Is it straight forward or tricky?

Thanks,
Mike

Hey Bighaeb, LoD got flooded with orders last month and so the current lead time is about 3-4 weeks right now. They have been starting to work after hours and weekends to catch up but I think it'll still be at least a month before the lead time comes back down to 1-2 weeks or have products in stock.

As far as the install goes, click on the link below to see how:

From the time I ordered mine it took about a month. And that is what they said right up front so it was no suprise. I bought front and rear. Both look great, I'm having a few issues with the rear but I'm told the next batch will be corrected. Worth the waite

Great, thanks for the responses.

Here is another question. Can you mount it and then go back later to put in the winch? Or would you have to pull it off completely to get the winch on it?

If you get the winch ready bumper you can add the winch in anytime without
having to remove the bumper. In fact when I installed the powerplant winch and LoD bumper, the bumper had to be mounted on 1st then the winch.

If you buy the bumper that is built to except the winch you can leave the bumper on to install the winch.......this is what was stated on another tread.
