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...

PS. I see you got an excellent price on your bumper too
WHAT!!!! It's NOT Painted??? They didn't mention that. HMMM... Not I am going to have to find a powercoater. What does that cost? And I think I would go with just black. It's going on my Black Sahara.

Thanks, Ben

I called MORE back and of course you're right... It's bare steel...
Well, my good deal price ($720) on the bumper + $125 for shipping + $600 for lights + $200 for powercoating + $1100 for the Winch... My front end is going to be about $3000+... OH WELL... It will look cool... I'll post pics in Jan. '08...

Oh yeah, Baja Design Soltek Fuego lights too... Not HID though. That wold have really sent my wife over the edge!!! Oh yeah, so would the $3000. I'll tell her it was all about $500 ish...

My Soltek light are black with red trim rings. So on my black Sahara they should look awesome. And with the gray/red trimmed Warn winch, that should look smokin'...

Its got a 2.5" BB Teraflex kit, w/ 3/4" Skyjacker spacers in the front, w/ 285/70R-17 BFG MT's on Extrem Alloy 6059's... It does look big, but it's not that big. Did you look at the CJ5 with 37"s on it? It had a 10" lift kit on it... WAY TOO BIG!!! I sold it...
