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.

I welded a plate into the factory holes and cut out a new hole for the factory fog lights. I made spacers to go inbetween the bumper and light brackets and screwed them down. Sorry for the late reply

I really like how it ended up.
I love the look but are there any dangers associated with removing the over shell of the bumper? Is it a crunch zone for accidents? Any weather damage? Etc...

Nice job in the OP!

The only caution that I would voice is whether the bolts holding the brackets for the D-rings have enough tensile strength to handle the worst-case scenario. Would hate to see that thing flying through somebody's windshield.

I've got a stock bumper. Once it warms up I'm going to do this.

I think I'm going to have someone weld end pieces on it too
