My one have any experience using this on their fenders or bumpers? I was thinking of stubbing my stock bumper and using the extra plastic from the ends to cover the exposed ends without using rivets or screws

i believe that woods from 4xfix did this with great results. you might want to contact him.

I'll have to check that out! Thanks

thats what i did.

used a piece that i cut out of the end caps and then epoxied it to the end

That's exactly what I'm going for! Thanks for the input, it looks much better like that than with the aftermarket end caps IMO

That is how I stubbied my stock front bumper when I did it. I used a soddering iron to melt the pieces together or as it's called, plastic weld.

That is how I did mine too, except I cut it so it would fold back and only have joints on the top and bottom. I Plastic welded(soldered) the seams back together using the extra plastic to flll in the seams. I also used plastic bumper repair epoxy on the back(inside) of the seams for added strength. It's been on both of my jeeps and is holding up well after 4+ years.

Thanks for the tips! Im looking to do something extremely similar to your bumper, was it a pit to mount the winch like that? That's how I'm wanting to mount my winch as well

It was a little tricky, but not much harder than top mounting it.

I did this when I molded a front lip on the bumper of my car. Not too hard, pratice first on some scrap pieces.

I know it isnt a Jeep, but here is a before and after that shows it can be done with zero appearce of being welded.
