E&E Low Profile Bumper! (17 Viewers)

Glad you had a good time in Moab!

These were designed for 2000lbs on the weakest area.

Looks like someone sent their truck up to Stellar Built and got an E&E rear bumper. Nice look, love the hidden winch, step sliders, and low pro rear.

Maybe a stupid question lol, has anyone tried to cut and keep the factory hitch cover with the rear bumper?

I kept mime…and promptly wiped it off the next week in Moab.

I think I may have just ordered the last of the low profile bumpers! I will be adding it to my LX570 with AHC within the next month or so. Looking forward to the small fab work to make the AHC pump compatible and the added ground clearance that I am going to gain!

Bumper passed the bump test. Hells Revenge and Top of the world in Moab back to back and this is the only damage.

As one of the few people running AHC with this bumper, did you have to make larger cuts for it to account for low mode? My understanding is this bumper attaches to the frame while the body moves independently. Just trying to plan ahead appropriately.

Not sure what you mean? Other than about a 1/2 inch gap between the bumper and the plastic I don't see how it's any different than standard suspension. The AHC pump is frame mounted as well.

I may have fumbled my words here. I apologize for any confusion.

When using AHC to raise and lower the car, does the new low profile bumper move with the rest of the body as it goes up/down? Or does the bumper stay in a fixed position?

My understanding is the bumper would be fixed while the body of the car would go up and down. Meaning if I put the car in low mode, the paneling could hit the fixed bumper? I could be over thinking it, just trying to mentally prepare

Bumper moves with suspension just like the bumpers do now. Same mounting points.

Definitely over thought it… trying to reinvent the wheel

Had a great time tackling some trails this weekend. It's past time for a muffler chop and butt armor.

Better late than never? Paging @Turbo.

Hey @turbo8 - What are the chances you can extend the front filler pieces to fully support the mud flaps? The current one doesn't give full support. Not sure if you can see in this picture. Might even want to pre-drill a couple holes for easy fastening of mud flap. Just a thought/suggestion.

 

[turbo8]

I think, you're asking if I can extend it like this?
How much farther should I extend it?

From your pic, maybe extending to this surface looks about right.
