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 Home built, custom Stubby front bumper

Finnished product is found iby searching - " home built custom stubby front bumper 99% done"


OK im not gonna do a whole write up....any questions ask, I'll do my best to explain. Some easy questions to answer right off the bat.
- I used cardboard off the main angle (front and top) to find all of the corner angles.
-I stick welded it.
-It took about 10 hrs.
-its made out of 1/4" front and top and 3/16 steel on corners.

This bumper is not done, it will soon receive a winch and roller fairlead, stinger bar and lights. and a nice coating or 2 of some type of roll on liner. Hope you like it as much as i do!!!!

Bumper looks nice.

Off topic, could you post some pics of your roof rack set up. I am hoping to get something installed on mine and im just wondering what you have up there.

Looks great. I would suggest SPRAY on Duplicolor bedliner instead of roll on. If you work with it for a little bit, you can dial it in for exactly what you want. Up close is a smoother finish. Further back makes more texture. At around 10-12" or so, it looks VERY close to the finish on our fenders. Thats how I did mine, and it is very easy to touch up after you bounce it on rocks, too!
