Smittybilt has come a long way over the years especially after being acquired by TransAmerica, what most of you know as 4 Wheel Parts. In recent years, it seems they've been trying to redefine themselves as the go to company for overlanding parts and gear and for the 2017 SEMA show, they brought out a Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited with a face only a mother could love and they call, the Apollo. In addition to the custom exo-cage roof rack that ties into the rocker guards, this Jeep also features their "Hight and Tight" front bumper, rear bumper and fenders. One other interesting feature of this Jeep is the tire carrier mounted to the roof rack system which lifts up as the Alpine speaker boxes slide out and open up.

Would have been nice to see this with a normal grill, however It is nice to see smitty stepping up their game in a way. Bumpers are starting to look like decent looking options. That exo cage does look good how tight it sits tho.
 
Can't stand the grill and I know their quality has been suspect in the past but I gotta admit I kind of like it
 
if they hadn't put that grill on it wouldn't detract from the rest of it.

bumpers look decent, not sure i'd want 100# of tire over my head :thinking:
 
What I don't get is the CEO of TransAmerican Auto Parts Greg Adler is a serious participant of Ultra 4 and off road racing...and he okay a build like this?...
 
This thing is a hot mess. Or maybe I just can’t stand the grill so much it clouds my vision for the rest Jeep.
