Notices
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.

What was done to your JK this week?

So far so good, but with only 20 miles on them I can't really give a true review

It is the bushwacker - fantastic quality, mounts are solid and looks streamlined. I do think it is overpriced however, for two pieces of plastic with 3m tape. I justified it based on that there was no other shield I even remotely liked the look of - if I did, I would have tried it - $132 cost more that the actual aftermarket grill I put on.

I have an extra rear bumper that I want to work with
As promised. Since I only dry fitted these I could take them off. You can see the trimming of the bumper that will be hidden, and the size of the end cap that slides over it. The one thing I wish I thought of at the time would be to make sure the inside part of the bumper (which faces the body) has enough plastic left so when the end cap is on it will still be closed off to the elements. I haven't looked yet but if I took off too much on the inside, I am going to have a gap which I would assume will get filled with water etc with no mudflaps. If that's the case I will add some back on the inside to cover the gap.

Only other thing I can think of is to be careful on how much you trim bumper so end cap has something decent to mount to. I plan on using the epoxy, and then 5 plastic push pieces each side (2 on top, 2 on fascia, one on bottom). Need to sand them a bit to straighten also.

Thanks, I like the looks too but wasn't sure about quality for the price. Looks like a winner and one my short list now!
