after installing a Rugged Ridge XHD front bumper on my wife's unlimited, I went to work on her stock bumper and made my own minimalist stubby for my 2-door Rubicon...

the hardest part was figuring out how to install my fog lights in the steel part, since they're originally attached to the plastic cover... i ended up using some aluminum sheet from an old computer case to make the filler panels to mount the fog lights...

only stuff i had to buy was some long screws, nuts, and washers to mount the fogs in my filler panels...

a lot of measuring, cutting, drilling, grinding, sanding and painting with bedliner and it ended up looking pretty good...

 

I like it, alot! Any plans to rework the stock rear bumper? And you cant beat that price.

 

thanks!!

i've got some ideas for a rear bumper... one involves stock front lower control arms... we'll see..

 

i like it alot...can i see some pics from the front possibly like head on? im considering something like this

 

Good job!! I had the same problem with the fogs but went a different route but I like yours a lot more!

 

Cool man......!

 

mb, I'd love to see detailed write-up about how you fabricated the mounts for the fog lights. Nice job sir!

 

Looks great

 

Very nice... Love the price too

 

Any pics of the filler plates during the build?

I am curious as to how these were fabricated.
