Just wondering what everyones thoughts on the Smittybilt XRC bumpers and sliders are. I wanna hear them all.... Good or bad.

I'm a torn between the smittybilt XRC series bumpers and LoD. Obviously there is a considerable price difference between the 2. I was gonna go with a full LoD setup but the 3k price tag aint sitting in my sub-cockle region right!

Thoughts?

 

I run the SRC Series - pretty much the same i am very Pleased with Them

SRC Front Bumper, Sliders, Rear Bumper w/ Swing

 

I like smittybilt stuff alot. I think its the best for its price i dont have any of their stuff yet for the jk but on my yj i just sold i had their bumpers tire carrier and rock sliders and they were great. I will be buying smittybilt for the jk.

 

I was in the same boat so I got both.
Lod shorty for the rear and smitty xrc for the front(I just liked it better,personal preference). Both finishes have held up well through our cold,snowy,dirty winter.

 

I am going with the same set up I have the smittybilt xrc front stinger and will be getting the LOD rear with all the jazz just waiting on money I love my smittybilt stinger and for the price you can't beat it and it is holding up great

 

Dont have the bumpers, but I have the side armor and was really surprised how well they work and tough they are...especially with all the negative reviews I've seen

 

I have a rear bumper it looks cool but it sucks the latch is worn out and they wont send me a new bracket so i could weld it on , and the boby flexes alot so it hits the bumper on the corners go with the rock hard thats my next rear bumper its plated under neith so it wont hang up like the XRC

 

The sliders have no center support in center on the 4dr model so they have been known to bend in the middle and do body damage. If your not doing any really hardcore offroading they are a good product for the money.

 

Well, I heard this too, but I took a chance since I got them for a steal. Maybe they changed the wall thickness or something because I've come down with the full weight of the jeep in the center and they held strong. pleasantly surprised after all the reviews.

 

I have the xrc front bumper and I love it. Solid as all hell. But will probably go with the rock hard rear because of the beefy tire carrier. I have heared alot about the smithy built carrier wearing out.
