Personally, I dont like the gap, but it works well to keep the cats from building up under the fenders. I also dont like the Euro bumper, i think that is just as fugly as the US one.

I like the stubbies. My bumper got replaced with a Shrockworks as well.

That is why God invented stubbies. It keeps the earth approximately 3.1416 x diam of tire from where you removed it and not at home in your driveway!

And Bestop. I like mine. Would have like the Expedition 1 Full width but my Bestop was the only option I like under $1000.

agreed! ... it probably provides a little extra clearance on full turns as well ...


i also like how the gap looks ... i think the euro version of the JK bumper is terrible.


ps. my 100th post!

Default where can I buy the US factory bumper??

My wrangler has a factory EURO style bumper. I hate it!!!

It is the bumper that the foglights are located on the 2 ends of the bumper far apart from each other.

I want to change for the factory bumper ( US ) that has the foglight in the middle that also has the 2 upper hooks.

My question is: what do i need to buy exactly to change? Is my fog light the same or do i need a new one? Is the interios panels and structure the same or i need everything on this illustration?

Where in the US can I buy this? I wonder somewhere near MIAMI

Try DHL

I have shipped large items with them and it wasn't to bad. I have also heard of using Greyhound to transport large items.
