Default Rear bumper mods. How to??

Has anyone modified their rear stock bumper? I'm sure that there have been...looking for ideas.
On a super tight budget.

Peace and chicken grease

Thanks KH! I just ordered the RC stubby for the front and don't have enough money for the rear. Just trying to get some ideas of how and what to do with that hideous ass.

I left the front chopped and opened too. It's nice to pop debts out such as after breaking thru 2" of ice at Rausch lol

You could always ditch the rear bumper completely and do something like this - EVO Manufacturing Rear Bolt On D-Ring Mounts - EVO1083

Here is a thread - https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/spon...s-bolt-162875/

That's awesome. I'm digging that look. I also think the fiance will tend to like that more than no cover at all.
