check it out, the front bumper looks like a ARB, but not as good and its BIG a which means its prolly heavy too, but I kinda like the rear, and the rock rails are....different

weird though I had an idea that is similar to that rear bumper plus a couple details, like my taillight guards

I'd like to know more about them, like what they are made from, what they weigh and how they mount

That rear bumper looks kinda good. Something different needs to happen in the area under the tail lights. Its just one big square.

That front bumper kinda hurts to look at. :shock:

agree with ya on that too square/too big or flat...... something just doesnt flow well with the shape of the Liberty, sides of the rear are really too flat and square for my taste, but then I like more of a rounded ....rear :wink:

I agree. I hope he likes it. Not my taste either.

Most people don't give a care in the world what I write until you point out how "racist" or "uncalled for" my comments are. What's responsible for starting a fire, the spark or the tinder? You're the spark in the reaction, and therefore it will be your fault when I get my butt thrown out of this forum. :lol:

Relax, man. If he likes the way his bumpers turned out, more power to him.

I never called you a racist... so lets get that straight right now. Cuz I know where thats coming from. And as far as people not caring, I suppose you may be right to a certain degree. And all I said was you were a bit harsh on the guy, didn't realize that was gonna spark a debate. And you just now agreed to what my original post said, more or less. "If he likes the way his bumpers turned out, more power to him." I guess we will agree to disagree :wink:

Well I can't say much for the front bumper (I'd like something a bit thinner and lighter) but I do like that rear design. One thing I'd like to see incorporated is a recessed step in that section under the turn signals (the side thats parallel to the doors) to make it easier to get up to my top rack. And while I don't care much for the front unit it is a nice fab job - nice smooth joints and everything looks even.

My two cents...

Most of my posts are pretty sarcastic and some people fail to pick up on it. (Hint: When I'm being sarcastic, most of the time I add in a little smiley to help those who struggle with detecting sarcasm.) Was I a little harsh? Maybe. Was I exaggerating? Definitely.

I never disagreed with what you said. I said that his front bumper was ugly (merely an opinion), not that he was wasting all his time and energy in creating said ugly bumper. If he likes it, great. That's all that really matters.

I'm not debating. Are you debating? Because if you want to debate then let's debate about something more interesting than a—how should I put this—less-than-aesthetically-pleasing front bumper.

I'm really not a butthole. If I come off as one then you are reading my posts all wrong! :lol:

I definately think they are built well (what you can see in the pics)Maybe the builder is new to approach and departure angles thats why the front is like it is but it is built well anyway.
Personally not my style as everyone probably knows but its cool. Now the nerf bars.....Maybe they would work good on the pavement deffinately different.

For some reason your posts just seem to make me smile and laugh :lol: I dont know why.

It looked like you just quoted what Doc and I said without adding any commentary. I was highlighting the blank area to see if you had written something in some kind of invisible font. haha Let me fix it.

Why thank you (I think... :lol:). I don't really know why either, but if it makes you smile, then it makes me smile too. :D Can I get a "per smile" discount on one of your front bumpers, JHCRASH? :lol:

I don't think I've ever used that many smileys in one post...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
