Looks great!! Jealous of you 5th gen guys. The only thing I find "different" about the design is the side profile, and why it wasn't built to replace the complete corner of the vehicle and how it ends, and then there is clearly the original vehicles body panels.?
Why do people keep knocking it. I found it usually to be people that have not interacted with SW and apparently can't wait for the product to be built as they aren't just stockpiled? But cheers

well you found incorrect. I have dealt with them numerous times for numerous vehicles.... but alas no longer.

Ive seen this one On other threads. I'm sure it's great quality, but most complain about the design being too bulky and not offering any advantage re: departure angle. It might even make the DA worse than a TE bumper.

Despite a good product, Shrockworks is horrible with communication and they have some poor business practices. As an example, I ordered a set of skid plates at full price, and I had them on my truck the next week. However, people who ordered skid plates in a group buy still didn't have theirs after waiting patiently for months during the same time that my skid plates shipped.

I thought the ARB was the bulkiest of the bulk, no lines or anything clean about that design. And my front bumper definitely gave me a significantly better approach angle, I couldn't say anything about the rear bumper as there isn't one available for my gen.
Also their communication throughout the last groupbuy was great. Kept me updated, answered any questions I had throughout the process via phone or email, let me know what winches would fit with the product. Turned out great was delivered when promised and the discount was awesome. Like I said if you aren't in a rush and can wait a few months its a great option.

I'm curious as to what is different with this one versus the previous version?
- Does it work with the Gobi ladder?
- Does it overlap the rear lower bumper?
- How does it work with the tailgate lock? leave OEM bumper plastic in place?
- How does it compare to the stock bumper? improved angle?
- How does it work with the factory spare? (i.e. can you still use the OEM location?
- Is the tire carrier removable?
- Any options to relocate the factory cam since it's covered by the tire carrier?
If you are looking for looks, it's a very nice option. Most of the questions that persist from the first version are function related. Hopefully Justin will see this post and provide some details.

Yep, I noticed that too. Shrockworks just made it available on website for order last Friday.

I know personally that it took 10 months to receive my bumper when I ordered it from them. So there...
You really need to stop jocking sw so hard
With that said, the design just looks like a bumper on top of a bumper. If you fall off Into a rock when wheeling is the bumper just going to bend into the stock panels? The departure angle doesn't seem any better either

So there?! Really, are we going to be 5 year olds about this. I apologize for your long wait time as mine didn't take that long and arrived when promised? Did you have a custom bumper made with different options. Did they not answer any of your questions or comments during the fabrication process?
Quit jocking them, what did you end up doing with your bumper from this "horrible" company that makes a product that doesn't offer improvement over factory equipment? Oh I see you put it on your rig.....and kept it on. If you truly disliked them you would have asked for your money back or sold the product.

looks like a bulkier version of these universal hitch mounted tire carriers HG Series | TireGate.com ....and a lot more expensive!

Your statement was that most people that complain have not dealt with them, I have dealt with them and was unhappy.
It is a plate bumper, they are a dime a dozen now but back when I ordered it, it was the only option available. It is a good bumper but not any better than DeMello or ARB. I would never ever give Shrockworks another dime of my money every again.
You are obviously a big fanboy or maybe even a employee of sw because you are really fighting hard for their reputation and for their group buy. You really seem to have a vested interest into what other people think of sw. Honestly sw had their chance, they were first to the market for the 4th gen and if they would have kept their promises to their customers and not lied to them like they did about lead times they would have been a lot more successful than they are now, but they slacked off and left a huge void to be filled and several other excellent companies saw that opening and went for it. Then they designed excellent products and took SWs market share and that's where we are today... Sw trying to backpeddle to get back to the top like they once were and the rest of us hating them for being such a horrible company and lying to us for so long

Not an employee, just sticking up for a good product on my vehicle. And like I said, I dont see you taking it off your vehicle anytime soon? Go ahead and sell it and buy a CBI or Demello...then at least I'll know your content with your purchase or maybe could knock their product too while using it.
Also maybe you should quit "contributing" into these discussions about the GB on various websites and bashing the product thats in your profile picture and you have so many shots of.

I have several semi custom 1911s that took from as little as 6 months to as long as 15 months for the manufacturers to complete.
I assume this bumper is of similar quality given the quoted lead time.

I just ordered some sliders from them. I thought they were very nice to deal with and I'll wait for a quality product. Their front bumper is awesome, but I'm just not feeling the rear bumper.

you wanna buy my front bumper? ill be happy to sell it to you. i would love to buy a cbi bumper, stellar customer service and product. but since i already have the front sw bumper im fine with it and its too much work to remove and would be stupid to sell since there is no real benefit from other bumpers (give or take a few degress of approach angle) i just wouldnt buy anything else from the comapny in the future
lead time has nothing to do with quality. if i was told that it would take ten months to deliver the bumper before i paid then i would have been fine because i made a conscious decision to do so. BUT if i was told it would take 4 weeks and i paid $1400 for the bumper and it arrived 10 months later while every other week i was given one excuse to the next i would be pissed as everyone else is and thats just what happened.
