I really like the Shrockworks rear bumper, I’m split between their bumper and Heftyfab’s aluminum rear. What rear spring are you running?
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Got my C4 Lo Pro bumper installed, with BD S8 light bar and SB X20 10k winch. Still need to cut off the winch hook and install flatlink and winch rope on to winch, and wire up the light bar. Test drive to the farmer's market, the bumper stayed on and did not fall off!

I was looking at doing the same thing, is it pretty sturdy? I was worried it would be wobbling around quite a bit back there.

Picked these up a couple days ago. I'll install them later and post pictures after dark. Worth a shot for 7 bucks.

I know you had a cheaper eBay set before you said worked well..can you share what you’re replacing again?

I currently have 6000K LED bulbs in there from Amazon that were about 20 bucks something like that. They're bright but they don't work well in fog. They are too bright, wrong color temp, and they reflect off the fog like high beams do. The 3000K is the way to go.
Wobble
I had to add some 16g plate here and there to stiffen it up... it “was” quite wobbly, now it has minimal play.

Did quite a bit the past week. Installed a set of LED Fog Lights (yellow) on my Warn bumper, Dura-coated my shackles and tow hook Graphite Gray, blacked out my rear valance (plasti-dipped), installed some smoked out amber LED marker lights in my upper grille and replaced all my forward lighting with Xenon Depot LED bulbs. Waiting on my LED side turn indicators (front & rear) and LED reverse lights.
Oh...finally took a pic of my transfer case shift knob that came in a while back

Installed a version 2.0 Waterport on my RockyMounts 14'er basket. The basket is only put on for trips and such.
I had to move the Waterport around a few times to get an ideal mounting location to make it usable and to still have use of the majority of the basket.
I was originally planning to hang it off the passenger side outside of the basket, but when I mocked it up, it was just too big and left vulnerable connections exposed.
Then I was going to have it on the back, on one side, to allow placement of two 2.5 gal gas cans next to it, but that seemed like a ton of weight right in the back - about 80 lbs (full Waterport weighs 44 lbs, I measured it) plus I would have had to remove a gas can every time I wanted to install the hose to the Waterport.
I ended up mounting it slightly offset from the middle of the basket, inside, in the back. This way the weight is actually on the crossbars of the rack, all connections are tucked away, and it is quite accessible. It had to be offset from center because of the design of the fill / drain connection on the Waterport. There is still enough room in the basket for gas and gear or a 33" spare.
First impressions are it is decent quality and will likely be useful on camping trips for fast whore's baths and to clean up cookware, but it seems pretty unwieldy and the connections are Rube Goldberg as **** - there's like 7 connections to make to fill it from the hose. The pump cap and the air compressor fill cap work pretty well but no matter what I did there was 1.5 quarts of water still left in the tank that would not come out even with re-pressurization from my air compressor.
$139 at Costco, free shipping...
Edit, after some consideration I am going to remove it and return it. It seems like a decent product but I think it's just overkill for the rather basic task of transporting and dispensing water. I will leave the images up though for reference.

Can you link a place to buy that? I was loading the front of the gobi tonight and really could have used one.

Installed new fogs and HID kit from Xenon Depot. Accidentally ordered amber lens, which I don’t care for... so ordered new clear cornering lens.
Major difference in visibility, but I do prefer using fogs for a wider light path. As they sit now, the Squadrons are not usable on the street. Hoping the cornering lens cuts down on the vertical throw, as these fogs could flash oncoming aircraft!

Sweet. This is way better than a car cane.
