I saw a thread a few months back where someone had done that. I think AEV has one of the best front bumpers out there. It sits higher than most others, and the fogs and winch are really well integrated. Making it a stubby is absolutely rad... I don't know why they don't sell stubbies... it'd make me think twice before my bumper upgrade.

Yea, that would be nice. That conversion is with a Ram engine. For some reason, it is cheaper to use the truck engine than the GC or Comm. engines.

I have been looking into this already ...................

Yup, right after I chop my ARB.

Guy did a really nice job, but I think he should have chopped two feet off each side. I think I'm on to something . . . the mini-shorty bumperette.

Rats, sounds like Jimmy (Sureshot from B'ham) had some really bad luck up at Windrock this past weekend and his JK is at some Stealership where a bunch of idiots have fried his ECU.

Ticks me off when I hear about Chrysler dealers that can't seem to hire or attract decent mechanics, and instead let 10 thumb troglodytes jump up and down on someone's nice rig.

Full Metal Jacket is a great movie. I think I'll have to break out the dvd and watch it again this weekend.

Not a golfer, but I would make a donation in exchange for an autograph the next day. By the way, how about a little info about Tactical Products. There might be a couple guys on this thread that would make the trip just to see the store.

I have an aimpoint on my ar...its a rather pricey red dot, but SO worth the money. I could throw it out of a 2nd story window and it would still hold zero (no joke)
