Finally got my Shipment today and did the install on the fascia and d ring blocks. Everything fit relatively well actually no issues with the blocks going in the frame rails at all (maybe because I flush cut them)... Idk.

Trying to line up the fascia + Dring block + tabbed bolt = need to be an octopus with extra hands... Or a set of vice grips a "persuasion" bar and some patience. . Never the less super happy with the end result and kudos to Evolution Offroad on making a very well made product. Happy customer here!

Now just waiting for my Genright tire carrier to arrive!!!

Looks great! I'll be adding the EVO gate plate as well here as soon as the rest of the parts come in. When I mounted the D rings and rear fascia I used vise grips and a magnet. Worked great.

Do it! You won't be sorry it's cheaper than buying a bumper!

Looks great!
I cussed for a few minutes when I did mine, then got the drill out and cheated with holes in the bottom to get my fingers in.

I just wanted to share my experience. It was a huge pain at first because I tried to just wing it. Then I took my time to formulate a plan and everything went smoothly.

I took disposable chopsticks from takeout, cut them in half and taped the squared end to the flag nuts. It made a world of difference in handling the flag nuts from behind the rails.

I stuck double side tape to the large washers for the flag nuts to the inside frame rail.

I did not cut flush the frame rails flush, because the little lip of rail doesn't bother me.

Good luck with your installs. Anyone local that plans on installing, I'd be happy to come by and lend a hand. Or at least stand there watching while drinking a beer. Hahaha.

Very nice. Just updating my front bumper with the Evo 1/4 pounder with stinger at the rear with the fascia. A guy ran a red light and nailed the front of my JKU. Now just completing the jeep with Evo parts!

Looks great. That's a neat idea. I ended up putting a backup camera in the center of mine. With Two small kids and no way to see what's down low, it always bothered me. Not a problem anymore and it's very inconspicuous .

I saw a post somewhere on the net where some guy cut out his taillight lenses and mounted them there, but I thought that position to high for my needs....the SRM's are the same size as the white/clear portion for the reverse lights..

Lmao those things are bright. Are they switched or Hooked to the reverse light wire for an on trigger. If not tailgating you wouldn't be a "bright" idea. Hah. I had rigid's on my raptor always got flashed.

Yes both, switched and reverse.

I have to say the thought of fucking blinding some asshat who is tailgating me crossed my mind lol, but I digress ..would not be a smart move
