Expedition One Rear Bumper

[sn_85]

I've had my expedition one bumper for 1-2 years and haven't had a single issue. This year I had to rebuild the bearings and seals but I think it was my fault I didn't have enough grease in the chamber. I am still trying to figure out a solution to cover the void in the wheel well, haven't found anything that looks good yet.

There's some spare tire shaped water containers you could put under there

Or you could go with a Long Range tank

I've seen others make custom brackets and put air tanks down there

Bluesteel,
I've got the bumper and did the install myself. The trim on the rear bumper cover is pretty easy but I'd go slow. You can always do a couple of test fits and trim more if needed.
Also you're going to want some help, it's difficult to move precisely.

Mike,

Thanks, I am concerned slightly with WHERE to cut but I will cut cautiously with room to cut more if need be.

Wow! That's the first color-matched bumper I've seen that I actually like. Fantastic job.

My single swing arm bumper is installed as of this weekend. I am impressed. I agonized over my rear bumper selection. I have no regrets. It is very well made and no doubt I’ll get years of hassle free use out of it. And it looks amazing on my rig!! I have metal parts installed from all of the usual companies. And this fitment is stellar - on par or even exceeding the best. I love the way the body panel cuts are hidden behind or under the bumper. Incredibly sanitary. You have a huge amount of leeway with your cuts. Huge. There’s No worries if you even generally follow the instructions. Speaking of instructions- the ones sent with the bumper are legit horrible. Online not much better. I spent more time organizing a bag of bolts- some standard and some metric- and trying to decipher which part was what. Ultimately it was very simple. Wing bracket on each side. And 2 piece brackets that secure to frame/crossmember. Having installed one now it can easily be done in a couple hours. What is the deal maker here is also the latch! It is functional, easy, clean and elegant. I bounced around hard off-road and the tire mount on the swing didn’t even twitch. Now I need an equally elegant way to relocate my license plate. Although it’s sooooo close to being legally visible as is with my 285’s angle mounted as high and passenger side as possible. Ohhh- rear camera is 8/10 with the single arm without relocating.

This thread is giving me life right now. I've been waiting 19 weeks for my rear single swing out. The original order stated that the unit was blemished because the swing out was on the left side instead of the right, but that it was already in the Weld 2 stage and would take 6-10 weeks. I was good with that and decided to proceed. At 8 weeks I emailed and asked for an update and was told it was in the Weld 2 stage and it would be 6-10 weeks lol. After that, radio silence. They did not respond to any further emails. I finally got a response when I used the chat feature on their website. I warned them no to ship the bumper mid July bc I would be leaving the country. I was told that my bumper is in the grind phase and that it should come before July. So somehow it went backwards in the build process. I'm not at all confident that it will arrive soon. I'm super frustrated, but this thread has given me a glimmer of hope that I might get my bumper sometime this year and it will be worth the wait/weight. Still, Exp1 is living up to their reputation as a company that will not communicate with you or deliver their product anywhere near the estimated completion dates. Deep breath.

And so I wait...

It took me 7 months to get my shrockworks with no communication from them and one day my bumper showed up via freight. Main reason I didn’t buy a front bumper and probably won’t buy anything from them again. Good bumper but horrible communication and lots of missed deadlines.

You have to ask yourself how bad do u like it and whether it’s worth the wait.

Im going to bump this old thread because there may be others looking for updates and info about these bumpers like I was.
I have a dual swing arm being delivered on Monday. I also ordered the dual jerry can carrier and the hi lift.
I will take pics along the way, and post them up.
