It's about time to switch out my front bumper, it has a pretty big dent on each side, but I'm on a tight budget, so I'm considering doing the vdp stubby endcap conversion or paying a little extra and getting a tube bumper. I'd like to see pics of front tube bumpers and rear ones if you have one.

Also on a super tight budget. I went the pavement ends route. Under 300 for bumper and winch plate and you can still use your factory fog lights if you have them.

I like the look from the front but I looked it up on 4wd and it seems like it sticks out really far from the grille. do you have pics from a side angle?

The pavement ends bumpers are a great minimalist bumper. Light weight but still strong enough to beat up. The simple design allows a lot of options to mix and match other manufacturers parts to it. The bumper doesn't cover much of the frame, so I replaced the oe plastic cover with Warrior's steel frame cover, added a Rugged Ridge hoop, added a Warn skid plate. Getting ready to sell mine only because I'm after a Poison Spyder that allows a winch to sit lower. In all the PE bumpers are nice.

I don't think it sticks out any further than most other bumpers do. If anything it seems closer since it is straight flat in front and butts pretty close to the very front of the frame.

Here you go sorry for the crappy nighttime cell pics sent from the FBI surveillance van. It actually sticks out less than the factory bumper.

that looks really good with the extra parts
yeah it definitely looks a lot closer in your pics. I think the pic that 4wd has just threw me off. thanks for the help!
