Two one quart bottles will fit in each side, with a little room left for a tow strap or winch controller.

This bumper will hopefully be on my Jeep in the near future. I love the look of the pre-runner guard and end caps.

Yeah, I ordered the storage caps before the flash was updated and it didn't give me any errors. I was mildly upset when everything arrived and I couldn't open the end caps with the pre-runner on. But it wasn't anything that a sawsall with a torch blade couldn't fix. There's plenty of clearance between the pre-runner and the storage end caps that there's no rub, so I'd say there's at least 1" of clearance between the pre-runner and normal end caps.

Neither of my end caps leak and there is no wear issues with 35" tires. I have a 3.5" skyjacker lift and 1.5" spacers on Dick Cepek DC2 wheels though. I have pictures posted of my installation under my projectjk.

The pictures are pre-guard modifcation. All I did was cut enough off to access the end caps and then sealed the ends of the guard.

Speaking of modifications, what are the dimensions of the opening in the winch base? I am wondering if I can drop one of my surplus ammo cans into that opening since I would not be mounting a winch.
