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.

Fab your own bumpers?

Hey BackinBlack,
My friend says $500.
You would need to come to Greensboro for fitment.
Also, we drilled an additional hole in my frame to add a stronger mounting bolt.
PM me if your interested...

As someone said earlier, could you guys who already made bumpers post some some dimensions. I've got a guy locally who does good work, cheap. i'm just too lazy to take off my current bumper and get some measurements for mounting.

You can follow along with mine.

I'm not moving too fast, though. When it's all done, and if it turns out OK, I'll make a build-along post in here.
