Expedition One Rear bumper

Thanks for the info. That helps a lot.

One last question. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but are there any hi-lift jack points on the bumper? It looks like there are some on the rear one, but I can't tell on the front one.

Thanks a million!

There are many locations to use the Hy Lift jack on the Ex 1 bumper. I also have the Hy Lift accesorry with the chain with the hook shaped lift that works great. As for the lights in the bumper, they are PIIA driving lights front and rear, good enough for great backing at night and our rear camera is super with the lights at night. As for approach and departure angles on these bumpers, for us, there has just been zero issues.

Do the backup sensors still work?

Yes they do, everything is fully functional. Simple 2 minute installation from the old to the new. We also added a back up camera.

Its been a while since the last post, and I have been checking the Expedition One site periodically since first seeing and loving their rear bumper. I still do not see the rear bumper being sold on the site. Under the FJC section "More coming soon......" Is it possibly being sold any where else? Any insider info?

Call or e mail them at Expedition One ( James )and ask the status or to have one made. I was the first to get one and they found to make the bumper match the locations of the plastic inserts and also make the rear door open was very difficult. Using their conventional welding methods, they had heat warpage which screwed things up. I know they spent too many hours on mine to make it profitable. Maybe they have an improved approach now. We love our rear bumper and it works and looks great. One of the best mods we did to ours overall. As for competitors, Demello ( Jason ) made a rear that was very close to Expedition One and I think they had an initial run near 20 but like Ex 1, I don't think they offer on their web site but again call. Good Luck!
