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.

Nice man, I love my Pavement Ends bumper too. Idea for ya, I didn't like how the plastic frame cover looked with the bumper. So I installed Warrior Products 12 guage black steel cover, fits perfect and gives it a finished look. They also make it in aluminum black diamond or chrome plate.

Dumb question... from what i understand the 2012's have a vacuum pump that is located near the front and with some bumpers the pump must be relocated. Did you either of you have to do that? Or do you have 2011 (or earlier) rigs?

Just curious... as I like the simple look bumpers too... I'm still on the fence on what I want to go with.

I wish mine was the 12'. 07 though. I can't say for sure, but with how simple and open behind this bumper is, I wouldn't think you'd have any issues with the pump
