We have sold a ton of these and everybody is very happy with the weight and construction of these. The other nice thing about the armor lite series is they are always in stock and not built to order like Lod's other products

Maybe the Full width Sig series rear that is coming will level the Jeep out again. Hopefully!!!

My issues aside,this bumper is hot.
Ha! That's funny. I just received my LOD Sig Series delivered today. As we were moving it I thought the same thing about the weight ( hopefully the wood crate is a contributing factor). Plus, I am going it install my Engo winch...

I definitely don't want my front end to sag.

Just installed my bumper, winch and bull bar. It looks awesome!! I'll have to wire the winch and install the skid plate tomorrow. I will post pics of everything when finished.

Default Armor Lite Mid Width

Installed mine with bull bar and VR10000s winch Saturday. Easy install. No instructions provided but you can use instructions on their web for other bumpers to remove the factory bumper. Had 1/4" drop in front end, which is not bad. Figured this set up added a little less 70# to the front end. Very happy with it. Chris at LOD says they will build a rear bumper if there is enough interest in this series.

Looks great


One question an you still get the grill off easily to change lighting?

And does anyone know if the BDF fog light bracket will fit the provided holes?
