Hey guys, after lusting after many bumpers I am almost sold on the JCR dagger midwidth with a bull bar hoop. Any reviews from you guys, I've searched on the forums a bit, but no one is directly addressing this product

-any pics to post?
-any mods required to the wrangler to install (only the stubby install directions are online)?
-vertical or leaning forward hoop?

Also, with the crusader rear bumper, can I continue to use my add-on hitch I purchased for the stock rear bumper (not factory)?

 

About how many cans of primer and then paint if I "rattle-can" it myself?

 

I'm looking at the JCR Crusader but there are some pictures in my post of some Daggers.

I have the stubby and it took 1 1/2 cans of etch primer, 1 can of primer and a little over 2 cans of textured black. All were rustoleum paints.


Hope this helps.

 

Both dagger fronts (stubby and midwidth) install the same.


Yes, as long as it mounts the same as the stock hitch.

Purchased and painted, waiting for it to cure for another 2 days then will mount and post. Very satisfied, despite my issues with paint in the humidity this weekend.

 

JCR Offroad midwidth

Primed with Rustoleum self etching then auto body primer, sanded again. 2 cans each.



Bedlinered 2.5 cans and drying (Rustoleum)

Looks good,....i'm starting to think i'm gonna go the JCR route myself.

 

I like how its lighter and very affordable, but still more than a stubby...
