Building or RE-building mine? gotta love a vehicle that's built like an erector set. Squish the bumper? 6 bolts later, poof, new bumper. Tear off drive shaft boots? poof, Joey wins new ones and agrees to give me dibs on old ones. yup, it's all good!
Here, note the bumper before and after!

Use 4-Hi in sand and hold the esp button until it dings to disable it or else it will drive you nuts in the sand. You dont need 4low unless you are doing crawling or have lockers that you want engaged.
I cruise around all day on the beach in 4Hi ESP off and 33 psi without any probs. You should be ok at 18psi on stockers, you can go down to 15 or so. I like to go back to 2Hi if I hit firm ground so it doesnt bind when doing tight turns.

Hey Joe (Racer), good seeing you on the road today, your jeep looks massive now compared to the last time I've seen it. I wasnt sure for a second since your license plate is different, wasnt it like 4x4x before?
Anyway I'll see you around!

I really only need it for the corners. I should be receiving the rancho tire carrier next week.
I plan on cutting the ends off of a stock rear bumper in order to reuse them with the Rancho bumper.
The bumper we currently have has seen better days.
Driver side lower corner is in bad shape.
I'm in East Northport and work in Rockville Centre.
Drop me a PM about your availability for me to pick up the bumper.
Thanks
