JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I would like to see the author link a rating system with other forum members on how all of these bumpers look and state how long they owned them. This would be great because, I like so many of these bumpers that a concencus on the quailty of these products would help a bunch. And WOL is very helpful to point out that we all need to demand the very best from these companies if they want are money.

My gut feeling is that if WOL allows a company (manufacturer, retailer, basement builder or other) to be a sponsor on this site, then chances are that not only is the company a reputable company that puts out a decent product, but the service is sufficiently strong that any quality issues would be sorted out quickly, efficiently and at minimal cost and inconvenience to the consumer.

I was looking through the Bestop Trektop thread:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/bestop-trektop-installed-56731/

and was absolutely stunned to see how Bestop actually listened to the consumer (mainly WOL, but I'm sure others chimed in as well) and modified their design to incorporate the tailgate bar into their Trektop. As a result, they have a better product that I am now likely to buy. There are dozens of stories like this from dozens of manufacturers that WOL recognizes and supports.

Furthermore, with so many similar products to choose from, why not go with a known company that someone has vouched for and had good experiences with? It makes no sense to me to buy a black sheep and expect it to be white when you get home. Alright, I'm not sure what that last comment meant, but I went with it.

After reading through the last couple pages I was almost scared too post

I've been priceing bumpers out and I really love the look of the M.O.R.E bumper. I've noticed at least one forum member that has it. Any other reviews or cirtiques of it (Good or bad)?


Thanks much!!

Love the board. Very very informative for new Jeep owners!

Dangit I was actually hopping to see these forementioned red bumper pics. I guess thats what you get for being a late arrival Huh lol.... that and being 5000 miles away from your jeep back home. LOL Well anyways I am still looking for a good front and rear Bumper for my JK. I am more keen to the full length front bumps than the others. I do like the Expedition trail series and the Bear claw one lol. forget the name, but both the full length have what I am looking for. Integrated fog lamps Winch sat down in the bump and some cool looking brush guards. I liked the style of the road armor Bumper but it is a little costly and I heard bad things so decided to go elsewhere or fab my own for later on when I get home to the states. Who knows.... Awesome Forum WOW regardless of what people say I still thank you for your info provided here. All it takes is word of mouth Proof which you can provide and thats enough for me.

Same here..I want to see it also.

I actually am thinking about fabbing up my own front bumper. I do not have all the tools but I have a friend that does and he said I could use them. So heck, excuse to drink some beers.

The welds look great. I took it to a machine shop and had it done. They only charged me $30. What a deal! It's over at the line-x place right now. It will be ready in another half hour. I guess I know what I will be doing Saturday!
