I just finished installing my new Bio rear bumper on my 99 LC and couldn't be happier with the bumper. Here is the final product with a photo of the notch in the cross member for the hitch option.

Thanks. I used VHT night shades. First I wet sanded with 2000 grit paper, then sprayed the VHT, then wet sanded again, then buffed them with compound. It was allot of work, but it turned out really nice. No orange peel, looks good.Dig your smoked out tail lights! How did you do it?
Nice! I should have mine in the next month or so, I went with the high clearance version. I previously had his regular bump, I also have Mike's sliders and a custom front bump too! Mike does fantastic work!I just finished installing my new Bio rear bumper on my 99 LC and couldn't be happier with the bumper.

Oh very nice. How much more clearance do you get with his high clearance bumper? Im planning on doing some rock crawling, but nothing too intense. Wonder if I should have got high clearance instead. Ive got rock sliders from Hefty fabworks going on this week, then eventually the TJM T17 low front bumper.Nice! I should have mine in the next month or so, I went with the high clearance version.

I can't remember exactly, I can look back at our emails and let you know. It also has a slimmer, less bulkier profile and the bottom of it is cut at a 45 degree angle. That coupled with the fact I am going with a swing out too, provides me with much more ground clearance. Plus, the front bumper he built me was a hybrid, lightweight bumper that used some tubing, which is used in the HC bumper too, so a little better flow in the looks department!Oh very nice.

Duplicolor gun metal gray with duplicolor matte clearWhat did you use on your wheels? Color? Did you clear coat them?
What are you using for your CB mount?
The ride quality improved in my opinion. I have medium duty OME coils and thethey don't feel as bouncy as before. The lift is only 4 months old, so it probably needs some breaking in as well. But over all, the ride is better to me on highway driving. Still need to test off road.Looks sweet, mine should be ready in a couple of weeks, I ordered the same one, without the second carrier.
Silly question, any difference in the driving dynamics, do you notice the extra weight especially with the tire hanging off the ass end like that
glad someone else asked on your wheel color - really like it - did you just clean & degrease the wheels for prep, or something more elaborate?Duplicolor gun metal gray with duplicolor matte clear

These are the products used for the wheels. Here are the basic steps- clean with dish soap/water, dry, scuff wheels with steel wool, clean with alcohol and micro fiber cloth, mask off tire, 2 coats of primer, then 3 coats of gun metal paint, then 2 coats of matte clear coat. This was done with all the wheels removed. It was allot of work, but the results were worth it.
Thanks. And no, doesn't fit in the garage haha. Maybe if I took the roof rack off, but that's not happening. All good, it stays outside, my girls car goes in the garage..Nice bumper, the entire rig looks really good! Does it fit in the garage? Looks near impossible in that picture.
