LOL. Surprisingly, lots of folks put Northridge4x4 in their signature line (I don't, but I'm a fan, too), but only NITRORC Pilot's is hot-linked. Check it out higher up the page.

Having the stubby Shrockworks front bumper and their sliders, and the LOD rear bumper... I would say that Shrockworks products are the way to go, if you can manage the wait. The Shrockworks bumper looks and feels like a single unit of formed steel, as opposed to the rear LOD bumper which looks and feels like pieces of steel welded together. Granted, the LOD bumper is still nice (outside of the rusting under the powdercoating and then flaking), but it's not built like the Shrockworks stubby.

I haven't seen the mid width Shrockworks or LOD front bumpers, so I can't speak to them specifically.

While I was initially put-off by the long wait for my Shrockworks mid-width front bumper, in the two years since I've had it installed, I've received so many compliments and been so happy with its ability to hold-up to all kinds of abuse, I will gladly give my endorsement to the Shrockworks mid-width front bumper. I have been so happy with my front, that I will definitely (even with the wait) go with the Shrockworks rear and am seriously considering their rockers. If you have any questions about ease of install or anything else, please feel free to ask!

well I decided to go with the LoD bumper and it should be at my house in about 3 weeks. Thanks for the votes and the input.

You won't be disappointed, beat the crap out of mine on rocks and with a little Rustoleum flat black enamel they are as good as new, and seriously, that paint matches perfectly.

You have the matte finish on your LoD??? I ordered the LoD mid-width front and rear bumper with tire carrier from Stan! Look forward to installing when it arrives! Stan gave me a smokin deal on both and I love the free shipping!

I voted LOD

I have the LOD rear bumper and love it

I am torn between the LOD midwith or the AEV front bumper

Love them both, it would be nice to be able to swap them out with a single bolt
