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.

My first fabricaton attempt!

I finally started cracking on my front bumper as well. I havent stubbied it yet because i dont have an angle grinder yet, but i will pick one up soon. I also cut off the crush cans and patched all the little holes in the bumper with JB weld. It looks much nicer that way. Hurry up and tell us about phase two

Lmfao! Well I decided to keep the cans, paint them body color to match and use them to hold my tow strap. New bolts to replace the factory bolt straps, and grill mod the bumper openings(maybe the factory silver) until I get some figs to throw in. Any idea what the wiring running in the bumper is?

Ok. Done for now...and here's my take. I dig it short term. Way more aggressive and creative than stock, but not perfect. I like the custom look and I literally spent $14.78. Granted I already had the silver paint and mesh on hand for some interior upgrades and the grill mod that I haven't done yet. What do you all think... Tear it up!

Oh, and the cans will most likely be covered by my tow strap. I think I am going to put the loop around one can and wrap it figure 8 and then tie it off.
