Plastic weld epoxy
My one have any experience using this on their fenders or bumpers? I was thinking of stubbing my stock bumper and using the extra plastic from the ends to cover the exposed ends without using rivets or screws

That is how I stubbied my stock front bumper when I did it. I used a soddering iron to melt the pieces together or as it's called, plastic weld.

That is how I did mine too, except I cut it so it would fold back and only have joints on the top and bottom. I Plastic welded(soldered) the seams back together using the extra plastic to flll in the seams. I also used plastic bumper repair epoxy on the back(inside) of the seams for added strength. It's been on both of my jeeps and is holding up well after 4+ years.

Thanks for the tips! Im looking to do something extremely similar to your bumper, was it a pit to mount the winch like that? That's how I'm wanting to mount my winch as well

I did this when I molded a front lip on the bumper of my car. Not too hard, pratice first on some scrap pieces.
I know it isnt a Jeep, but here is a before and after that shows it can be done with zero appearce of being welded. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...es/G37-6-1.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...8-05184350.jpg |
