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.

Thanks guys. We are trying to keep the initial style we had with our front facing grill guard/light bar.



The nuts that are showing on the front of the bumper are actually put in backwards. When it is actually installed you will see only the head of the bolts.








The bumper is made out of 3/16” plate and is fully reinforced for extra strength. It is heavy duty. I do not have any info on pricing or availability at this time. I will have more information for everyone shortly.

Here are a few more pictures with MBRP stamped in the grill guard/light bar and fully welded to the bumper.







Also it will be nice to have the option without the bull bar, here in Europe some of the country requires you rig to be inspected by official services and they don't like at all the bull bar stuff. It is ok to change the OM bumper with one that accept a winch, but still bull bar stuff are pieces that could be seen as to dangerous in case of accident.

Do you guys plan also a rear bumper?
