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.

Help me choose a front Winch Bumper...

I am an AEV fan. Over here by law we have to have the bumper (fender) cover the wheels so no stubbys!!

Although I don't have a winch I think this bar looks great!

If you did get a bumper that does not have the bar running above the winch, you can still mount a set of lights. PSC offers a light tab that attaches to the roller fair lead. Just an option but I think it does look pretty good and it's also cheap.

I saw that Smittybilt has a new XRC bumper for the JK's. I saw it on their site but I'd like to see some better pictures of it. But it does look nice and the "lady" next to it, isn't bad either...

LoD doesn't answer e-mails....or at least they don't when you write to them telling them about the poor craftsmanship in the bumper you just bought.

I hear ya... I ordered a shrockworks front stubby in late October and I'm still waiting. They seem pretty responsive though, I've called a few times to get the order status, in fact I called last week and he said 2 more weeks, so next week I'm planning to call again to see if there's anyway I can get it before Christmas.

Try giving them a call. I haven't had to email them in about a year.
