Bronzestar- looks great! You should come on over to jk freaks and sign up for freak fest. There's a group of us that are going to play at Rausch Creek in May.

I'm in the same area that you are if you get other projects to put together.

 

Thanks Karl. I appreciate the invite!

 

Grill and light bar on waiting for lift to get here 😎

 

Light bar and Switch-Pros to control it and my future accessories. Man this thing is bright and the switch-pros is awesome! Second photo is from the top in case any one wanted to see... (had to jump really high to get that one)

 

finally chopped rear bumper to match front, added bushwacker bug sheild on front and back and cowl protectors - next is 1.5" coils to enhance leveling kit I already have and 35s!

 

Do you have any more pics on how you did the rear bumper chop? Or more pics of bumper? I am wanting to do the exact same thing.

 

Jeep looks great dude. Love the grill with the bug shield. I have the same light bar, great job.

 

I can take some better pictures. I tried to research for almost a week but there is really no template to follow, need to measure the parts that show, and eyeball what doesn't to make it fit.

I removed it, chopped the ends based on how much I wanted (worked backwards from end of jeep to where the bumper jets out - about 4.5 inches) and put those aside. cut about 4 inches from the same part where the bumper jets out so I had .5 room to slide cap over. Bumper jetting out is the 2 parts on each side below of the tire.

That would have been enough but of course the ends are tapered, so I had to taper the bumper the same and clean up the back a bit.

I have zero tools and borrowed a sawzall but it moved a little fast for my skill level lol. So I more or less used that for the cuts that were big or hidden, and then used a hand hacksaw for the end caps so they would be a little more polished. They fit on nice, but I am going to sand the edges a little more, than plastic epoxy them on bumper, then drill holes and black push plugs - trying to make them similar in style to the vdps on the front. with all of the things you can buy for the jeep, no one came up with end caps for rear bumper?????????? MIND BLOWN

 

Thanks - i was really on the fence about the grille and the shield - i feel like its way overpriced for what it actually does and didnt want the front to look way overdone but no complaints so far.

 

Got these on Ebay with 25 miles on them. Seller said he drove the Rubicon from the dealer to the shop for his lift.

Nice upgrade to the stock Sport shocks.
