Evo fascia...

Hey guys wanting to purchase an Evo fascia but was wondering with a 35" tire will I ever run into a problem of me damaging my rear corners with such a short bumper? I have a stubby body width right now that I'm wanting to sell, love the Evo fascia and I know it's an awesome product just wondering if anyone has ever run into this problem. And of course off-road you can damage anything but I'm not going to have corner skins or corner armor on. ImageUploadedByWAYALIFE1466035466.561346.jpg thanks!

I am in the same boat. I worry about hitting the corners too. I have the fascia and plan to add the skins later. The departure angle is so great that I would think I would have to practically back into a tree or slide off a really sharp wall to hit it. Seems unlikely but as you said anything is possible. If I do manage to damage it then it will be a great excuse to buy the corners sooner to cover it up [emoji3]

I had Offroad Evolution do this to my corners for some added corner protection. I believe it's 1.5" DOM tubing welded on there.

Yeah was thinking of doing that as well. I have to pick up some tubbing for my carrier so I'll probably fab that up too. Will see what happens thanks!

Alright yeah I don't think it will be that much of a problem and yeah if I hit it it gives me a reason to get corners [emoji23] haha

I the new Moab video, the obstacle that is an off camber downhill, it looks like multiple rigs would have crushed a corner without a bumper. I could be wrong, but I specifically remember thinking that as I watched it as I am considering the fascia route as well

I honestly never thought I was going to hit my corners when I was just there with Eddie. The only times I have ever worried about my corners is back east here on the tight wooded trails. Hell I have Even hit my corners cause I slid off a rock onto a tree.

It was at 12:44 in the video on tilt o whirl. I think anyone on 35s w/o a bumper could have taken a hit, but I could be wrong.

I dented mine up in a super deep berm at Windrock that pitches to the side when in the berm, but now I have an excuse for the EVO corner guards

I'm most likely going to remove my bumper, don't think stock plastic bumper will protect corner much. I may be wrong.

It will save you a bit, but if you come down at such great an angle with that much force to get the corner I would imagine the plastic bumper will just crumble...
I'm actually taking my bumper off tonight and putting my spare in the back until I get a tire carrier

I already have an after market rear bumper but just really like the look of the Evo and the better angles so I don't get caught up.

Anyone have any advice on what they have done to the painted area below the tailgate that is now exposed with the fascia? I have seen some people just hit it with some flat black paint. Just seems like there is too much Commando Green going on down there.

I painted my lower with bedliner on my last jeep, I feel it really makes the rear end look finished with the fascia or no bumper at all.
