That appears to be the stock bumper, cut, with the end caps melted back into place, with a notch cut out for a winch, very creative and looks darn good.
Man, for all those guys who told me that 37s vs 33s, the 4" difference would be a lot, you guys were so on the money. I just got back from checking up on my Jeep, it's almost complete and the difference is incredible. I should have it back tomorrow, and possibly even get the AEV hood on that evening too. Unfortunately, somehow my AEV bumper shipped without the damn screen that goes into it, which I have been waiting on to get painted with my hood! Hopefully, I'll have it all together and I can finally share a pic in this thread.

Well, I think I'm going to like the hypertech. I only drove it for a couple days with the 33s and mainly bought it to recallibrate the speedo for the new gears and tires. And while I got to lay eyes on it lifted, with the new tires, I won't get to drive it until at least tomorrow, and the new gears won't be in for another 3 weeks or so. But having an accurate Speedo will be really nice, I don't need any more tickets. lol As far as true performance gains, I "think" I noticed better acceleration response. Seemed slightly smoother, but sometimes with things like the hypertech I often wonder if it's more me thinking it's doing something, rather than it actually is. Mileage did seem to slightly improve.

Nice looking Jeep man.
I was just wondering if you have the Skyjacker 4" Long Arm kit or just the regular 4" kit? Are you running spacers as well? I have the regular and am thinking about 37"s but am concerned about rubbing issues. Your thoughts?

Thank you.
I am running the regular 4" lift. No spacers. I have not had any rubbing issues so far, but then again I have not had the suspension really flexed yet. Hopefully, I will have some time to really test it out soon. I did trim the pinch seam in front of the rear tires. You most likely will need to do it also if you go to 37's with a 4" list.
