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.

That was an easy decision. I guess I'll be getting the stubby then!

Thanks!

Jamooche,
I just ordered a Shrockworks mid from Jim. I asked him specifically about the weight of both bumpers. If you look at the stubby on their website, the weights for each item are itemized:
Bumper - 44lbs.
Skid Plate - 27lbs.
Winch Plate - 11lbs.
Total - 82lbs.

The mid-width weight is listed with winch plate and skid plate included:
Total - 96lbs.

These total weights DO include the winch hoop.

All that being said, a stubby with bull-bar and winch plate weighs-in only 14lbs. lighter than the mid. The only way to run a 44lb. stubby would be to not install the skid plate or a winch. I'm not sure exactly what the winch-hoop weighs, but you could always delete that as well.
Thanks for the clarification. They're closer in weight than I thought. I'm still debating whether to get the LoD or the mid-width Shrockworks. I like the look of the LoD better, but like the Shrockworks design and disconnect motor skid.

if you want a skid plate to cover the electric disconnect, then go with shrockworks. if you don't have the electric disconnect....i'm partial to shrockworks, but i hear LoD is a great company too and you probably couldn't go wrong with them either.
