First one I have seen with the bumper ends off. I like it.

I have tried three times to order the same grill guard from three different distributors two were Mopar sites and then I get the dreaded email a day later saying they are out of stock. love the simple low profile look.

I had a similar experience. I finally asked my dealer to match the lower online pricing I found as a favor since I bought two vehicles from them and order it through the dealer parts procurement process. They were able to get it to me in less than a week. The leather dash panels are my latest challenge. My dealer says it’s probably at least another 2-3 weeks at a minimum even for them to fill the order.

I think I’m going to wait for the Maximus 3 to come back in stock. From pictures I have seen it almost looks like the Maximus paint more closely matches the bumper than the Mopar guard does.

I found the winch guard on eBay. A couple vendors advertise as in stock. I ordered the dash pads from Steve White Parts a couple weeks ago and they arrived within a week. May be worth a shot.

If you all are referring to the Mopar grill guard that goes all the way across. I have one arriving Thursday and I was also suprised by the builder of my newest Jeep and he put a Maximus on it and I ordered this one for that Jeep.

If anyone wants it let me know, it only weighs 14lbs so shipping should not be that bad. I am in FL 33304

Let me measure the box when it gets here and look at the invoice to see what I paid for it, it was below retail.

Any idea what size lights will fit under the center hoop of the Mopar? I’ve heard LP4’s will not fit under the Maximus variant, although I have seen a couple of pictures where it looks good.

I have a pair of LP4s I haven’t installed yet. Just threw one in a bracket and held up under bar to check clearance. It fits ok, see pics. . .

Thank you! That looks like the perfect fit!

If the amount of light is important LP4's number of lumens compared to the Rigid Adapts are night and day and the Rigids fit perfect.

I use my low with my LP6's when driving through the neighborhood, if I put on high every person walking a dog flips me the bird.

LP4 only has option to be on/off

Adapt has two options.

 

[Smess]

I have a brand new set of LP6's if anyone needs I will make them a deal.

 

[T_Town392]

I’m torn between LP4’s and the Rigid Adapts. I really like the amber backlights on the LP’s. Do the Rigids have anything like that? Very few pictures of them in the wild and hardly anything on YouTube. I hadn’t even heard of them until you posted your pictures, Smess.

If you are going with the Maximus bar I would do the Adapts for sure, LP4's are lost with the bar 2.5 inches thick. Mopar bar is 2 and can do 4's. I have that scenario on a 2020 2 dr Recon, I can post pics of that also.

I have an extra set of Adapts also if you need.

Just ordered one! Thanks for the heads-up!

ameldorf: Noticed you put this on your '21 392. Was about to order this for my '21 392 (non-XR) but got the dreaded "This doesn't fit your vehicle" message. You didn't have any issues with fitment did you, or are you running and XR?

Nope, bolted right on, perfect fit. I also have non-XR.

@T_Town392 - here's the front of mine with amber Rigid's and the Maximus-3 XLP (not sure if this is what you're looking for):

Here are some better daytime pics

Wiring not complete, maximus sent wrong part and new one just arrived. I call them wingplates. They cover all the exposed wires bill covering the void to the left and right of the winch.

As u can see my winch is cheated forward so as much room as possible btw winch and grill. This is maximus winch mount, warn was installed by dealer and I replaced due to wires being crushed btw grill and winch. Found only two bolts in winch and later learned here on forum thats another prblen with the warn plate.

Any questions let me know, I have a lot of bench test time now with the AdApts, LP’s, and all the Maximus products.

I kept changing my mind as new things cane out so I got stuck with a set of LP4’s

I need lots of light as my eyesite/night vision relies on it.
So I bought the LP Fog Lights in the Pro version which delivers 10,000 lumens vs roughly 6000 so the 4’and pros is more equal to the 6’s and sports or overall Adapts witj stock fogs.

The Baja fogs are ridiculously expensive, the Pros are highway robbery.

The fogs deliver down low and with Mopar lift and 39.5’s I am up there. I dont see enough difference to warrant buying them again but I do get a lot of high beams turned on coming at me when I forget and leave the Pro fogs on by accident. The sports barely ever. Then again I am probably sitting at the height wherw my lights and fogs are probably a direct hit right in their eye and a 10,000 lumen fog in addition to the rather impressive Led headlight is enough to half blind someone on a twi lane road.

As you can see from side shot the Adapts barley touch the hoop and look at them compared to the bumper.

The Bajas were way past the bumper and were lighting up the pavement in front of the truck.

Baja Fogs are in these pics

What winch line are you using? I am planning on going metal free as well. Been looking at this.

The winch is a Warn eco S ofr synthetic and it is the standard synthetic line that comes on the Warn.

Be careful the 8-10-and 12 ask have the synthetic option, the 12 I wonder what the upcarge is for that. You will see it for sure
