It's hard to tell from the pictures, but does the PJ stubby cover the swaybar disconnect? Would you still need a skid plate down in front? Did you remove your air dam?

Well I cut them off
Here it the real deal, No photosh_t here. As you can see my bumper already was toast so i figured what the heck. The sawsall worked great cuts like butter. Followed the metal fram on the inside as a guide. If you want it shorter you will have to cut metal.

It dont look too bad.. i bet the saw would cut the metal also. Im a fitter welder so im pretty sure it would.. if not with that blade you could buy a metal brade for it.

thanks for the pictures, I have always liked the stubby look
I chopped my stock YJ bumper almost 10 years ago, wow I've been around Jeeps too long
I want to chop my JK, but until I get lift and tires, I think it would look a little silly.
BTW, your Jeep has cute dimples!

Is this a temp fix until you get a new stubby bumper? I might be alone here, but I don't like it. I think both jk's look bitchin, but I don't like the look of cutting the oem plastic bumpers. Both jeeps would look 10xs better with a PJ Stubby or something else. Am I alone on this?

Very temporary though, i just wanted to see. The bumper is getting replaced, i think with a Tera flex front and a Jeeperman rear. I have a few ideas on rock rails that will deflect the crap off the sides of the jeep too.
But it really doesnt look to bad in person up close, But for those thinking. Probably not my 1st chioce, but it lets you know what a stubby will feel like. I like the look of the exposed tire.
Wouldnt have cut it if it dint know it was getting replaced soon.

Whew! I thought i stuck my neck out there for a minute. In that case I'd love to see some pics with the new bumpers. I just got rear ended a few weeks ago. Both front and rear bumpers need to be replaced. I ordered PJ's for both front and rear. I don't have a lift yet so I'm not sure if I will put them on until I get the lift.
