JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Custom Front Bumper Stage(1)

Alright So I'm getting a bit better at welding and have finally got the front bumper well enough to put on and show. It is by all means not finished. I still am going to cutout for fog lights, stinger bar, weld on clevis mounts, and powder coat. But I just really want to show it.(Obviously because i took photos at midnight, and even set up a defused light screen so i could get ok photos. lol)

Its made of 3/16 steel, and coated in roll on bed liner plus some spray on for texture. Completely made of scrap metal at ZERO COST. Only things that cost were left over bedliner from rear bumper and shackles. All total maybe $20.

BTW I know I need different bolts. They are just temp ones. Im going to get some black ones.













Also this last image is a preview into my next project. I have my own personal Vinyl Plotter and have some cool plans for my baby.

Looks great...Once you get the "black ones" dont forget to mount them with the head of the bolt showing rather than the nut...(may be a little OC/anal) but that little added detail looks good in my opinion (for what its worth) Thanks...

Nice work! The black bolts will look better indeed, but I also think reversing them will clean up the look a bit.

Looks great man, if I can ask, where did you pick up the blue shackles? I'd like to have some

Now, that is nice. Anything cost effective is nice, but you really stand out. Looks like a $300 bumper
