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.

Default My latest front bumper build

This is the second bumper I have built. I built this one for a friend and we put it on his 2011 sahara. It is set up with a smittybuilt 8000lb winch and 6" KC lights.

The attach points are 1/2" grade 8 bolts welded to the back side of the bumper. They have held up very well on my JK since I set it up a year ago. As for the paint I went cheap and easy three coats of rattle can primer and three coats of rattle can flat black. I thought about powder coat but with the paint I am able to take it off every spring and respray it and make it look brand new. My jeep (rescue green) and my buddys (black) right after we put his lift on.
