Thanks Darby...it's funny how much time it took me to place them where the looked the best...and didn't look crowded. I love the Warn dual beams......have the controls on the left dash...and they are easy to see and get to. I didn't put the trim rings back in the ARB when I finished... I was afraid they wouldn't "hold" to the Line-X very well, and I would lose them. I may still try it with black silicone, but it may have to be left up to the next owner!

Actually looks good with out the trim rings on the fog lights, since mine was used they were already in there along with the lights, they must of had problems before due to the huge amount of black silicone they used on the right side
Do you still have the measurements of the bumper after you reworked it. I may try something similar someday, looks good for sure, sets the whole thing off !

I thought I might try and pull the measurements again....even thought about sending them to ARB if they would compensate me for my time, and design. I would think they could make this bumper just as easy as their current one, and do well with it. Myself...I prefer the hoop delete...lets you see the Jeep badging on the hood, and allows the winch to be a part of the whole design.

Hang in there, and I'll try and get some measurements for you. I may start a thread to see how many members would be interested in buying a bumper like my design....if I send the specs and/or drawings to ARB.....I might convince them to build it if I have, or they see, enough interest.

I waited and waited for Trail Ready to do something, and got tired of hearing "3 more months", so that's why I did what I did. I have a great metal fabrication shop near me, and if I can draw it up and show him where to cut and bend...he can build it. I have a rear TJ winch bumper that I'm hiding right now, and I hope to sell the rights or co-op with a manufacturer. I wish I could have gotten it settled before SEMA, but time didn't permit. I've had it for 3 years now! lol That's one of the reasons the Jeep only has 2000 some odd miles on it!

I believe IMAJEEPNUT's green Liberty Rubicon is the best looking Libby I have ever seen..
Now my inspiration for my Liberty.

Has it sold yet?

Wish list: 2.5 inch lift, bigger tires and more aggressive tires. Custom rock sliders. That's it for now.

Thanks for the compliment... It's still sitting on my Dealer's lot. No takers in NE Ga. at the moment. Maybe soon...?

Update....

I may have a buyer for my KJ.....but she doesn't want the bumper. I thought I'd price it without the bumper, but curious as to what some of you think I could sell it for after removed. How would you price it? More or less than the original ARB bumper?

Thanks for your input!

I'm thinking you could get $800 for it without too much trouble. It's unique and really a nice bumper.

Thanks James.....I'm hoping someone nearby would want it .....to save the shipping costs.

Have you tried a for sale notice in the sale section? There's a lot of guys check in there daily.

$800 for that bumper would be a steal if the winch came along with it.

What will you do with the fender flares if you remount the OE bumper?
