Looks good. I have considered this myself but havent really come up with a good reason for doing so at this point. There are no rocks to climb here and Im not really all that interested in rock crawling anyways (well not to an extreme anyways). I really want to install a winch in my stock bumber though. Just havent decided how best to do that yet..

I did mine, cuz giant plastic bumpers belong on cars. And I tried kneeling on one end of my bumper to wax my hood and it crumpled. You think I'm gonna trust a piece of ugly plastic to protect my front end when it can't even hold 200lb of weight? Hitting a dog that weighs 40 lb at 30mph equates to about 1200lb of force (my math sucks, but my point is made). A can thrown at your bumper would cause severe damage to the ends. My dad hit a deer on his crush can and the bumper looks perfect, but the ends of it snapped off.

Hey Sauromalus, have you taken your JK down Malaquite yet? I grew up in Alice and we used to take my old '76 Wagoneer down to the jetties all the time. GREAT wheeling, just stay out of the dunes
