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.

Pretty pleased with how this turned out. Had a few issues with rattles, mainly coming from the handle, but have worked those out. Great bumper for the $$.

Do you have to remove all the L shaped clamps that held the stock bumper? Specifically the 2 that are directly under the spare tire. I just got mine and will install on Monday.

No problems with mine.......tire carrier is solid, handle is tight, one of the best looking bumper IMO....

No prob with mine. I've had a 40" tire hooked to it for over 10 months now and no clunks.
