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.

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.

After
Haha im sure I'll be in the market for a new bumper sooner than later now. I actually thought about cutting the ends off but the A-Hole that backed into it bent the end in, caused the plastic inside of the fog lights to bend up and have stress marks :( so that's a no go.

You can always just cut them and use the end caps, too...
I was unsure about them when I saw pictures but I actually like them a lot! They are definitely different then what I'm used to seeing on the Rubis but I like em.

He is a pic with the bumper taken off and you can see the damage better.

Just goes to show you that just because you park far away from people it doesn't mean you won't get dinged. Sorry someone was so careless.

In looking at your pic I learned a lot. I want to take off the tow hooks and add d-rings. Looks easy enough with your pics. If insurance pays then get a new bumper. if not, hammer out the bent frame and clean up the plastic. Reinstall.

Still suck though.

What better excuse for a new bumper.
I suspect an angry FJC owner...

Those wheels actually don't look that bad

Great looking Jeep. Welcome to the 2013 club

Sorry to hear about the bumper ding. Sux that people think they can just damage someone else's vehicle and just drive away. You know they had to realize what they did. Oh well....
