No welding. 100% bolt on.
But it was still a lot of work.

It looks pissed. Thats not bad though. So thats only a 1" lift. My LCA's are almost horizontal on my jeep so I must be sagging hard. |

A nice look. It really toughens the look of a Liberty. I will be putting a stinger bumper on my TJ in a few months so if anyone wants my TJ bumper, I'll make you a good deal on it. Ken |

Ken Thats one of the benefits of this modification. Because now I could install almost any kind Jeep TJ bumper. Or I could just go back to the stock plastic stuff, but then I would have to install new inner fender liners. |

Would be pretty trick to cut the ends (notch) and position them back towards the wheels and then weld. Would make a much cleaner look to cover the original KJ metal. |

It would look better but the TJ bumper is not long enough to completely cover all the KJ metal. Even if you did notch and bend it. It would also require a welder, which is a tool I do not have. |

Maybe get someone to make even a small notch (top and bottom) and ease the ends back just a smidge...like 12-15 degrees or so...and then shape the ends a bit. I know it would cost a little bit...but I think it would look great.  ...but as it sits...pretty darn kewl mod for cheap |

Don't know how much those bumpers are, or if you can find in the bone yard. You could get a second bumper. Cut the ends off and use the ends of the second bumper to do the taper. I understand you don't have a welder and can't do that. Just making an observation. Looks pretty cool though. |
