how did u "weld" the plastic together to make it look that perfect?

I used plastic body filler then sanded down and painted.

Dude you should do a write up on that. That is the best looking stock stubby I've seen. Very neat.

My first pass was a straight cut with a Sawzall, no dressup.




Second pass was trimming down farther and dressing the ends closed. I used a pistol-grip soldering iron to achieve the proper "weld" of the plastic ends. (propane torch accomplished little more than melting on thin walls of LH side -the fugly you can see on the LH side was from torch, then recovering with soldering iron)
Others have complained of body filler or weld not standing up. Mine is still holding tight. It looks about as good as plastic can, since my ultimate goal is to end up with LōD on my nose.

If you don't mind sharing, what plastic filler and paint did you use? Youre bumper looks awesome. I'm going to try and do the same.

Sheer amazing fab work... makes me kinda wish I kept my stock X bumper instead of getting one with fogs and hooks.

Its EASY, the hardest part is taking the saw to your new jeep!!! I chopped my front and rear off, it looks a hell of alot better and totally worth the whole moment of the initial cut!!!!!
Check out my gallery, i will be posting pictures of the rear "finished product" On the front i am waiting to get a filler for a more cleaner look.
