New Jeep
Well my wife and I finally picked up our 2013 wrangler. Picked it up on Saturday morning and enjoyed the day with t-tops off. We spent the weekend with family. Sunday morning we decided to go to breakfast and naturally I parked far away from everyone. Came out after eating to see that someone back into my jeep! They bent the bumper back and no one was around so a lively hit and run with only 100 miles on the odometer. Luckily my uncle just recently got LOD bumpers on his 2012 rubi so I got to use his stock bumper until I get something different.

You can always just cut them and use the end caps, too...

Cut it off!!! VDP stubbys' from rugged ridge. 60$ plus shipping from ebay.I did mine and there is enough info on this site to get it done correctly. Super easy!!! Make sure you measure 3 1/2 " because big bolts are 3 1/4" and cutting them sucks. Check out my pics.
Need sawsall and good metal blade and 7/16" (? size) drill bit. That's it. Again super easy. Don't be nervous. I was. Now I love the look.
