Looking at my rear bumper, I am thinking I want to upgrade this due to potential body damage. With the 392 I am also looking at gas storage options. I am unsure of the protection provided with the AEV bumper but it looks to address my other desires except it is stupid expensive. Can anyone here comment on how well the AEV protects and how difficult is the install?
THANKS!!!
Can't speak to the bumper but if you're talking about the fuel caddy, I had one my JK.
It has no lock on the cap, I've had asshats remove the cap during a rainstorm, I've had the fuel siphoned out multiple times.
Living in a hot and humid state, during the summer the interior of the caddy sweats and builds up moisture.
Siphoning fuel out with the shaker hose they send sucks; it doesn't get all the fuel out and you'll want to have a place on the outside of the Jeep to store the hose when done. I used the plastic bag it came in and would tuck it inside the backside of the spare tire.
I removed it and it's now sitting in my garage. You're better off with something like rotopax or jerry cans to make refueling your jeep a lot easier.
