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.

If you are talking about the D-rings themselves, it's exactly what Robar said, they do not come with the bumper. If you are talking about the D-ring mount loops that are bolted to the bumper on the previous page, but are welded on in the picture that you posted, that is a design change. It's not as clean looking, but according to LOD the new design is stronger, and a rattle can to the bolt heads would clean the look up a lot. The picture is from LOD.

Personally, I like the more utilitarian look of the new style, but fortunately LOD is letting buyers choose between the two styles right now.

This is a great thread! Note the Rock Hard also offers a stubby with a recessed winch and no fogs.

any reason some of the prices are N/A? Could someone add them, prices do change but would give everyone a good idea
The lod bumpers shakle mounts may make the bumper stronger but what about the bolt on bull bar?

So far the Shrockworks front stubby is #1 in my book...they have everythiny that I and as far as I can tell most everyone is looking for. Winch ready, Dring mounts, fog light mounts, skid plate...these are some serious bumpers! Now if only my tax return was here already
