Default Stock metal front bumper?

Have any of you guys pulled the plastic crap on the front and just run with the metal YJ looking metal sub-bumper? If so do you have any pics!?

There honestly isn't much there. You could use it as a base and fab something with it if you know someone that welds

Haha, ok. Well I guess I'll start designing my own then! We have a plasma and a welder in the shop here at the firehouse...so I'll just see what I can come up with.

I have seen one or 2 on here but not sure where. I will be making a rear stubby out of a YJ bumper as soon as I get my 2012. Maybe look in show and tell and write front bumpers and if u look at all the pages u will see 1.

Do it up . its cheap and different

I ran that way for a month or so waiting on benchmark stubby. Now I run the stubby which is just a C channel piece of steel that goes across the factory frame ends. I like it. Didn't like working with the vendor though...
