Have PRO fronts on both of ours with the SR20s and the rear on mine with SR6s- great bumpers at a great price

 

Awesome I can't wait! Can you tell a difference in the way your jeep drives with all that extra weight?

 

Just to let everyone know, ACE is working on their ACE Pro Rock Aluminum bumpers! That's right ALUMINUM!

 

You might be able to tell- I upgraded my wife's JK to 18/59 JKU springs which brought it back up to where it was at before the bumpers/winch and this past weekend installed the Teraflex leveling kit......also upgraded my 10A JK to 10A JKU springs and it is at about the same height as my wife's with springs+spacers. The stiffer springs not only return the height you lose but also some of the control.

 

Nice, I ordered both of those on Friday and looking forward to getting them all hooked up. Got a spod and also ordered those JKU 10a springs, although they are on back order. It'll be a long couple of months for sure.

 

I've been eyeballing the rear bumper but I saw a rumor some where that it weighs almost 200lbs... Is that true??

 

In another thread, Ace said the rear carrier with tire carrier is 190 lbs. shipped, and the shipping material is about 30 lbs., so it's around 160 lbs. My Ace rear bumper without tire carrier was 110 lbs. shipped, so I assume it's 85-90 lbs. It's incredibly sturdy and has great departure angle.

 

I don't think it weighs 200lbs (at least mine without the tire carrier did not) but it is heavy. You can't defy gravity, it is a 1/4" thick steel bumper and built to take some punishment.

 

Has anyone received an ETA on the rear bumper ship timing from a Black Friday order? We ordered a bunch of things. The normal product details says it may take 6 weeks for delivery. But I'm wondering if they got ahead of the curve in building prior to the sale.

 

Not sure about the Black Friday orders but I ordered mine back in September and just got it a couple of weeks ago......longer than the 6 weeks they state on the website. But, it was worth the wait.

 

If anything my jeep could use a little lowering... It's a 2010 2 door and has a 3.5 inch lift from rubicon express which by the way is awesome just a lot of lift with 33s as of now haha. I'm sure it will look sweet with 35s next but for now, let's just say it has a good amount of clearance. If I can remember right the front both stinger and bull bar are 66lbs and rear is around 100lbs, with a tire carrier I think it's 160lbs

 

Nice Jeep! How effective are the 2 light bars in the rear at lighting up what's behind you when in reverse?

 

The rigid sr6's are combo lights that do a great job of lighting up behind the jeep. I believe they also now have Lifetime lights that will fit in the Ace mounts that are cheaper, but I've been very happy with the rigids.

 

Looks like ACE got alot of orders! I ordered my Pro series front Friday morning when I got home from work. Cant wait to get it!

I never seen or noticed when I ordered, is the 20" a spot or flood beam?

 

I couldn't find which one it is but hell for that deal I don't care which one it is!

 

It's a great bumper for a great price. I have a RR XHD front bumper that I've had for a couple of years, but I've been tempted to sell my RR bumper and order the Ace pro series front bumper.

I also have Ace rock rails that have taken a lot of abuse and have held up great. I've just needed to touch them up with paint occasionally after scraping them against rocks, trees, etc.

 

I will hopefully be ordering some ace rock rails from Jason over at KrawlOff-Road pretty soon I can't wait. My jeep has the plastic steps A.K.A the mud collectors. I cannot wait to get rid of them

 

Yep, Jason will take care of you. One of the very first mods I did was selling my plastic steps on CL and replacing them with Ace rails through KOR.

 

How much were you able to sell them for?

 

$125. I used that to buy some Rubi sliders, also on CL for the same amount, to go with the Ace rails.

Not sure if this is worth a separate thread. But where are folks mounting a CB antenna on the Ace rear bumper with tire carrier? And what mount did you use? I would prefer to have it off the tire carrier as opposed to the license plate or a forward location. Also, with a mounting in that area, did you go with the 3 or 4 foot stick?

 

Same 4 foot stick I had previously and due to this mounting spot its lower than it was. Gate it open in the pic, thus the gap between the carrier and the tailgate cradle.


All I did was drill a single hole through that piece of metal that comes standard on all the ace pro's with carrier. Only downfall is when the gate is closed the antenna is very close to the carrier so any big bump makes it clank into it. It doesn't bother me anymore, but did at first. I run a firefly which are more flexible, not sure if a standard firestik would flop around as much.

I can't take credit, I actually got a hold of ACE and asked if they had any recommendations since the previous mount I had wouldn't work with this bumper. This is what they suggested. I told them this should just come pre-drilled to make everyone's life easier since it was kind of a pain in the ass to drill with everything still mounted.

 

If I mount one this is what I'll do:

Cool Tech LLC. JK Ultamount CB Antenna System

 

That looks like a pretty slick system. Thanks for the link.

 

Has anyone received a order confirmation for ace? I know they probably got a crap load of orders, but I was just curious and hoping I didn't get forgotten lol

 

I did receive a conformation email. No shipping date, but an order number. I would call if you didn't get one.

 

Several people posted in the Black Friday thread that ACE called them yesterday. I got a call myself, but I had sent them an email asking for a call. Not sure if they would have called without it.

 

Just got a call from ace, bumper is being shipped by the end of the week! The lightbar is on back order tho..

 

Santa came early!

 

Nice! But I think he got the address wrong.... that should've been heading over to my house!

 

My Front came Friday! But no use to even think about installing it. Unfortunately the light bar is on back order and my rear hasn't even been made yet. But O'well good things come to people who wait! I'm so excited!

 

Same boat! Don't want to install front then pull it off when light bar arrives.

 

Should be able to get the bar in just fine once its on, Im putting it on tomorrow so Ill let ya know :thumb:

Nice! But I think he got the address wrong.... that should've been heading over to my house!

Lol, I started freaking out a bit when I went to pick it up. Im Canadian and I had it sent to my US address, but they spelt my last name wrong. So they kept telling me they had nothing there for me when I showed up haha

 

i missed the sale. but, i sent an email to ace asking if there is any chance that i could still get the black friday sale prices. i sure hope so. i would love to have the front and rear bumpers

 

For those with 2012's and up, what are your plans for the vacuum pump. I like the EVO kit the most since it doesn't move it into the engine and take up the sPod location. But when I talked to Ace they did some work with the stock location bracket and moved it. Haven't seen any photos of it to have an idea, but was wondering if anyone had photos of what Ace is talking about? The EVO kit is $55, so would be nice just to tap some new holes and be done.

Also anyone just buy a bolt for the sway bar disconnect motor rotation? Any specifics to it to head to the hardware store with? Thanks!
