Another stock bumper chop.
How do ya think i did? Took me about 4 coffee breaks and a lunch hour to build gravel guard and install. I got this used bumper off a ladys jeep that came into my bodyshop. It had a small square mark on it from a receiver hitch. Score! total cost $7.95 for a can of gravel guard and some supplies i jacked from work, rivets, seam sealer for where the end caps join.
For the record I cut 6 inches out of both ends and the caps tuck in about 1 inch so works out to be around 14 inches shorter. Best mod since the rims and rubber I think.

Thanks guys, next I'm thinking about the fender trim 
Not sure how it would look though, but I may need some extra clearance if i get some sway bar disconnects, but a 2 inch leveling kit should help as well. So many things to do yet, so many.

Be careful with that fender trim, man: it looks great, but every time you see your Jeep and the void you've created you'll lust for bigger meats. If you've got 35's go for it...otherwise wait out or get your chequebook.
