Greetings. Considering support for TJ's is not what it was 5-10 years ago, I figured I'd share info about a new player in the TJ market, Legendary Performance Designs. They are local to me in the Salt Lake City area. The owner formerly worked for a couple of well-known companies in the area before starting his own gig. I found out about the company through a friend who is running some of their parts.

I'm running the Slim rear bumper, just installed the spare tire delete, and have the front bumper in my shop waiting to go on. Both the bumper and tire delete have great attention to detail, holes lining up excellently with the holes in the frame. Both items went on very easily, no modifying to get them to fit etc. Many of their items are offered in Steel & aluminum variants.

I love how tight the bumper holds to the body, improving approach angle. In fact, I went my whole trip to EJS this year not tagging my rear bumper once. I could not have said that regarding my previous trip with my old Teraflex bumper. It also hides my Savvy 1.25" BL well.

Here is the TJ climbing "Misty's Thumb" on Metal Masher with the rear bumper installed.

Here are a couple pics of the spare tire delete. It too fit well, holes lining up. The bends were precise, with good attention to detail. It came with a bracket for a center mounted 3rd brake light. I won't be installing one immediately, but nice to know I have the option.

Overall, super impressed with what these guys have going on. Check them out for your next armor upgrades. Legendary Performance Designs
 
Can you share a picture of the underside and whether it wraps around the crossmember?

How many mounting bolts are there total?
 
Nice, just ordered one. Hope my corners survive till Savvy gets its armor back in stock.

If you find yourself still dragging the low profile bumper like I do, it won't be long until the corners get ruined. Get them covered up!

Rockers are already slightly bent! I just can’t seem to settle for any other option. Genright is fine, but at close to $2500 for sliders/corners that still need to be fixed, I can’t do it.
 
Instead of hiding the body lift, why not just raise the frame/crossmember?

Certainly could, right?

I get that, but looks get hung up on rocks...

Did several trails at EJS including trails like Moab Rim and did not touch it once.

The frame chop makes sense for Jeeps that have good overhang but won’t yield me much with a near 90* departure angle and would require a lot of work to get minimal gains.

Come wheel Colorado. It is a minimal gain, but a gain nonetheless. I could tell the difference on several occasions.
 
Wait until you are in the middle of nowhere and you slice a tire open.

I don’t think spare tire delete necessarily means not carrying one at all. I have a similar setup (Kentrol tailgate license plate bracket) with the back seat removed and spare tire strapped down in the cargo area. I much prefer the tire off the tailgate and inside the tub.

I like it a lot, would definitely seriously be interested in buying one if a body lift wasn't required.
