Go for it. Cutting my stock bumper down to a stubbie was one of my first changes that I made.

I love it! It was my first big mod. Can't go wrong with a new better bumper!

Check out EVO military style design 1/4 pounder bumper. Very nice.

stubby bumper looks great on any jeep in any mod level. The only thing that looks weird in my opinion is keeping the fender flares stock. Shave the flares as well and you're off to a good start. I wouldn't waste money on bushwackers. The stock ones are more forgiving (bendable) and less likely to damage the fenders should they break off say you clip a tree

Really ? your only concern about a shorty is how it looks ?who are you trying to impress ? you get a bumper based on what kind of wheeling you do , not to impress someone . what is this world coming to ! crap !

Stock stubby bumper with chopped fenders. The only thing that looks goofy are those damn pizza cutters lol
