Lod Bumper

sjd78 said:
LOD makes a carrier with a latch that you must open and then swing the carrier out of the way before opening the tail gate and they make a linked carrier that is attached to the tail gate so all you have to do is open the tail gate normally and the carrier will open with it.

It's the LoD Gen4 linked bumper/ carrier. They also make a non-linked version.

Yep, this is linked to the tailgate. I don't have any good pics, but there's a plate that connects to the tailgate where the stock tire carrier would be mounted and then there's a piece that connects that to the carrier so they open together. Much easier than a non linked carrier

I have the Gen III tire carrier but I cannot see how they mount an pivot points would be different.

That looks the same as how mines connected. That's what I was trying to describe 👍

I have no idea what the differences between the Gen 3 and Gen 4 are. Maybe none?!?

The only difference I am aware of is the Gen 4 uses a different metal which saves weight. A decent amount of weight I believe. Other than that I believe they are the same.

And I thought mine was heavy, it was not fun to install without using a jack. I'm glad I didn't have to install a heavier version 😬

Awesome! I ran LOD in the past 1st or 2nd generation and was happy with it but wanted to do this one with the tail gate option because I'm constantly using the rear to hold my work stuff. This should be a great improvement.

Thanks for the info! Sorry for the hijack.

The Gen 4 uses the Armor Lite Steel which is 2x as strong as regular steel , this allowed us to drop 21% of the weight out of the bumper and tire carrier which makes a BIG Difference! The hinge system is also a bit different, the new Gen 4 also has a sealed Machined aluminum cap and the lock to hold the tire carrier open also has been beefed up and uses an aluminum wear plate on top of the bumper for the tire carrier lock so that the coating does not get scratched. The latch system on the standard style tire carrier has been upgraded to be completely adjustable too. Lastly, we have a new Stainless Steel custom made latch coming out here shortly that will replace the latch on the current Gen 4 standard tire carriers. If anyone has any questions please give us a call or let us know and we will be more than happy to help anyone out with anything they need!

Can the Signature Series Shorty Door Linked Rear Bumper with the Generation 4 Tire Carrier System accommodate the trail rack add on?

they say it can handle all of the addons except the side of the carrier where the door handle is. I've yet to try it out on mine.
 
Man...every time I see pics of this bumper it makes me want to order one. I'm saving money for a PR44 front axle, however. It sure takes discipline to save money, lol. Have fun with yours, its a nice bumper for sure.
