Looking for ideas (lights / bars / other) to dress up the front bumper of my Rubicon 4 dr.

Show us your pics!!!
I too like the look.
I added D-shakle points at both corners of the front and rear bumper to have jack points and so forth.
also added a 2" receiver to front bumper so it will now accept my "portable" winch, which is just a bull dog 8000 mounted on to the adapter.
That way I can winch from either end.
And yes its heavy as hell so don't do this if u can't wrestle it around.
also I modded the stock tailgate to add mount points for jerry cans.
It works out cheaper, lighter, lower center of gravity, and more versatile than the after market options out there.
The nice thing is I still have a working rear view mirror!
lol
no kidding!
all the tail gate systems put the wheel way too high as far as i'm concerned.
and since the stock spare rack works with 35s, tho u need a spacer. it all worked out good for me.
Your local rock shop guys will be able to help u prolly.
I went to Desert Rat and the guys down there where enthusiastic and very helpfull.
Now I still gota figure out a skid plate for the stupid evap unit....
how dumb is that thing?

hi yuh pig!
well yeh maybe.
I got 16s here and i do beleive the same back spacing.
Maybe on the street nothing extreme it would work. I dono.
But most definately not on the trails I do.
I use the entire range of my suspension and turning and often at the same time.
I cant believe 35s on a stock rig wouldn't blow something out.
But then I just ride the thing, I dont design it.

Here's the funny thing. The Pro Comp light bar is on the 4wd.com website, but you have to click on "Lighting" and then "Light Bars" and then browse through a couple of pages to find it. If you type in the name in the search box or the item number it doesn't come up. The picture I posted was taken right from the 4wd.com website. I called them, and they said that the light bars will be available Friday, April 13.
