Default new bumper for me!

Well,, after surfing the net for a few months due to my injuries,, they finally paid off.. a guy was selling a mopar/jeep rock bumper(front) for a jk on a local club board.. Well, I drove an hr today to pick it up,, it didn't have the fog cut outs but had the winch cutout.. and its missing the rubber crush can covers.. and one of the crunch cans is,, well,, crushed,, small dent,, not bad,, otherwise in mint cond.. And better than the $475 I've seen them online,, this one was $150.. Now I think I'll cut off the cans and get d-ring mounts.. also,, what lights should I get for driving lights? ones from a tj? or make pods up to mount the factory lights in? or??
Any suggestions,, oh,, and if I get my camera issues worked out I'll post pics up tomorrow..
Thanks,
Steve
It looks like this one,,

Great Deal!!! The other day I noticed that the guy down the street from me just put one of these on his Rubicon, it is a nice looking bumper.

emetal, Yes you can use the factory switch for your new lights I did it with my new KC lites. All I had to do was run a new relay to support the extra load. Nice bumper also I have the same one.

Nice score Steve!

I think if it was me, I'd skip the crush cans and plastic cover and go with the clevis/d-rings.

Thanks,,
Steve
