Cross Enterprises Bumpers?

[House]

Anybody have any feedback on the Cross bumpers?
Looks like the rear tire is a little higher than Duffs to fix
the dragging issue. A little basic, but look functional!

I have the Cross bumper and tire carrier (Trail Mate 1) and like it a lot. The tire does sit up high and is centered, not offset. My only dislike is the carrier doesn't sit on top of the bumper like other designs. This isn't so much of a functional issue as it is about looks - although I suppose that because the carrier is mounted on the face of the bumper, not on top - it could get hung up, but that's improbable. My bumper is 1/4" and I was pleased with the fit and finish and would recommend it. Here is a pic:

Thanks for the pic. Is the carrier clamped onto the bumper?
I thought the TM1 was offset and the TM2 was centered...?

I like the cross bumpers. had them on my rock crawler for a long time. Infact Mike and I came up with the idea of side protection that you can see on almost all of the bumpers available today. You can see the prototype on my rear bumper.

These do not come with side protection though, correct?

He says he does not sell them because no one ask for that. Ask and my guess is he will add the guards for you.
