The LFD Off Road Thread

Had some minor issues with my wind fairing but LFD was able to help me fix it. Great and patient customer support. Highly recommend them!
 
I regret not buying the rear bumper during the April sale.

Over the past 2 months my truck has had substantially fewer miles put on it and not a single "trip", however, I back into my driveway, and thus I look at my LFD rear bumper all the time. I think every time I look at it I smile about something new.

:D :D :D :D
 
Ordered a bumper last week at the end of the sale so I still got in on it and received a pic that the bumper was already cut the next day. I was told 6ish weeks and then was told it will be shorter than 6 weeks. I am trying to find a company to line X it for me. I am also trying to figure out how much stuff I can put on the swing arms. I am already trying to figure out about a hybrid front bumper this year also.

There's a fair bit of room and enough spots to allow for a good bit of ingenuity. For the winter months I had a PowerTank 11lb Propane mount on the passenger side; that is off now that the weather has warmed up (not that any trips are happening unfortunately). I also added some downward lighting at the top of each swing arm as well as brake/turn/reverse/dust lights in the LFD logos.

There should be a new accessory for the swing arms coming shortly... I placed an "order" (really, it was a "Hey, you should really make this, because as soon as you do I'll buy one" request) around the time I got my bumper (maybe before?) and was sent a photo of it last week :D :D :D

Maybe [MENTION=444815]LFD_Off_Road[/MENTION] is ready to publically share it, maybe not :P

Production had a open slot they slipped it in ;)

On your rear bumper, is there a camera relocation kit available?

Also, can you share overall steel thickness and weight specifications?
 
Rear bumper came in. it broke 2 straps. and to get it off the pickup we had to take it off the pallet, oh did I mention it was pouring here on the Gulf coast today. I will post pics when I start to prep and figure out what/how I am going to paint it. LineX wants 450-500 to coat it.
 
Just got in my "new" wind fairing. Super light!! Love it.
Thanks LFD for the awesome customer support!

We don't have a relocation kit. Customers have used the kits from other manufactures with ours though with success. We've also relocated a camera to the spoiler before which worked well.

Its about 230 pounds before accessories. The main body is .185" steel, with some .25" brackets where needed, such as the frame mounts, and the recovery points are 3/4" and protrude back through the face to the rear of the bumper body.

The swing arms are a combination of .185" and .120" steel.
 
So I have a question. For all of you guys that have a rear bumper, How did you paint it. I have started cleaning it for primer and noticed I can't get in the lower parts of the arms. Did you get it powder coated, bed lined, I called LineX and they wanted 500 bucks to line it, or did you do it yourself. How did it come out. I really don't want this thing to rust after a year.

Mine came powdercoated from LFD :) Then again, I drove to them to pick it up also
