Default Body Armor Front Bumper and Grill Mod

Hey all, first time Jeep owner here. Just got my JK X about a month ago, and loving it so far.

Just finished installing my new Body Armor front bumper with Smittybilt XRC8 winch, and the Grill Mod using gutter guards from Menards.

Have not heard of that bumper before but I have the same winch. Great setup and welcome.

I have been running that same front bumper for awhile now. It is solid as anything else on the market and price point is great!

I have changed my light setup a couple times....still not sure what I like best. Currently I am running with the Hella driving lights in the middle mounted in the tow hook holes and the spots on the outside.

Nice Setup, I like your lights. I've been looking online trying to find some, but just can't bring myself to spend 200 bucks on name brand ones.

Also did you paint your hoop mount bolts black?

Thanks!

Yeah I spent $100 on the Hellas to replace my OEM driving/fog lights and cheaped out on the spot lights. The spots came from Northern Tool I think they were around $12.00 each. 100 watts and have done a great job so far. There is a guy on eBay that sells some nice "no name" lights. He has quite a selection and I have been thinking about trying out a set to mount on my A pillar brackets.

I hit all of the bolt heads on the Body Armor bumper with a little flat black paint. Just one of those detail things that I am anal about.
