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.

Yes it is... I love it. It looks good, is functional, and not too over the top for an every day driver...

Did you do the install yourself? Do you have to use the crush cans or can you use a shackle mount instead of the tow hooks?

Yeah, it was very easy to install... I did it myself. You can put shackles on if you like, or just use the crash cans. I read somewhere that the crash can are better for the sesors in the airbag system. The only thing I wish were different on this bumper is, I wish the crash cans were made out of heavy rubber instead of the plastic. Behind the crash cans there is a large spring that is welded to the bumper...

Thanks for the info and the pics mirewolf. Keep going back and forth between the Mopar and LoD. Really dig the simplicity of the Mopar bumper...

The Mopar bumper is WMPhoto's, I was only asking a question.

People have tried, but when someone post a new thread about comparing bumpers, the self appointed search police come on here and tell them to SEARCH FOR THIS THREAD.

After all the looking IV done both at the beginning of this thread and looking at diff manufacturers, Im starting to lean more towards either the Mopar or Benchmark.
One is for simplicity of install and I wont have to do much altering to the Mopar bumper
for the tow setup Iv got on the stock bumper now.
May even go so far as to put Mopar on both ends.
