Default Show Us: Your Modified Stock Bumpers!!

Hi everyone,

I am obviously a new member but have been viewing, learning, and spending lot's of time on here for some time now. Lot's of great information on here and it is really great to see the comraderie and maturity that this site has (I come from many Evo/Subie/Sportbike forums and my god.... there are alot of profoundly stupid people out there).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With that being said;

I am very interested in seeing the different variations of modified stock bumpers that you all are sporting. I feel that the stock bumper is very capable and would be a great low-cost option for many of us here to modify what we were given! I would also like to see any bumpers that closely resemble stock bumpers as well.

Detailed pics would be very helpful and a brief description/write-up would probably be in order.

Thanks and I look forward to what you guys have to share!

I went with the Rough Country stubby bumper kit. Easy to install and reasonably priced

I disagree. The stock bumper is not "capable", it is however very light which is a good thing.

I cut about 11 inches off of each side and then made caps out of the remnants. It works but I will eventually want to build something resembling the Poison Spider Brawler.

For those of you with winch's mounted on the stock bumper; did you buy a kit compatible with the stock bumper? Or was this a DIY fit?


Keep those pictures coming!
