    By "integrated" i mean how it flows with the body lines of the XK, almost as if it was factory designed. A good example is his transition from fender flare to bumper.... there's no weird changeover or gap that makes it look like something is missing or improperly designed:

    ah - lol, then that's not what I was thinking. I would have referred to that as design and craftsmanship. When I saw 'integrated' I was thinking the back-up sensors, the shackle mount locations, the winch, tiregate - etc. But that's neither here nor there. It (the Jeep) is an amazing piece of work.

    Thanks for all the compliments. I'm very pleased also with how it came out also.
    The guy that did the fab is a true artist. All I did was show him a picture of the South African Maniac bumpers and told him I wanted something like it (for half the price). Since he does a lot of crawling, he knew what to do to improve on the approach and departure angles--especially in the rear where we have such a big overhang with the XK. Moving the spare to the swing-away created the opportunity to rip out those rails and gain a lot of rear clearance.

    Yours are the best looking aftermarket bumpers I have seen. They look like they belong on it, "compact" and functional. I googled South African Maniac and saw some youtube videos. Good stuff.

    Tactical Armor Bumpers

    The Rear Tactical Armor Bumper finally arrived!! I did not like how tall it was in the rear so i decided to cut it down. I cut 3" all across the bottom and then tapered down to the bottom of the flare. Then welded a 1" lip on the underside as it was. Seems to have the same angle as the rear sub frame. The tire mount fits well so does the high lift jack mount. the way I installed the jack end acts as a stop for the tire carrier. It has two huge shackle mounts also.
