With your money-is-no-object list, why so many Smittybilt products ? Bumper, side armor etc. There's better alternatives for a few more $

Default LoD Recommendation

I partial to LoD bumpers and rocker guards. I got the Front Mid-width and the full width rear with the Gen 3 tire carrier that you can get all sorts racks to upgrade. Check them out at lodoffroad.com. If your on a budget Smittybilt will get you by but....well lets just say they're not top shelf stuff. I saw a Jeep going down the highway with one of their bumpers with the tube extensions on the end. The tube part was vibrating like a tuning fork. Metal fatigue will soon cause that tube to crack.

I know smitty is not the best ones avaliable but

the Smittybilt XRC Armor Front Fenders & Rear Corner Guards are the only ones I know that will get rid of the fender flares




on this one, the Smittybilt SRC Side Armor in Textured Black I am only after it to get a side step, we will never go for rocks here in the UAE




The Bumpers i wanted to go with the AEV front & Rear but I will have do to some chopping to them because they extend out to compliment the factory fender flares which I do not want
