I added angles to the sides of my front bumper I built, got rid of the bedliner and painted it black. Fabbed new front skid or radiator protector. Added 194 light sockets to the rear taillights in the bottom where they ae just reflectors. I plan on tomorrow to change them to the 3157 sockets so that they are marker and brake lights.

The lights in the side of the flairs are 3/4" LEDs markers.

That is a sharp looking bumper! I also love the front markers underneath the headlights!

Those are also my turn signals, they stay lit when blinking and let me tell ya they are very bright. I also have resistors wired in so they flash normal.

Looks good!
I like that bumper, and the adding of the lights in the rear is cool idea

Any pictures of how the bumper mounts?

Sorry no mounting pics. I may (more than likely) will be doing some "other" things to it in the near future so I can take pics then. The bumper is mounted through the crush cap holes. I have 2- 2"x2"x1/4" angles that are directly welded to the bumper that slide into the crush cap holes with 2- 7/8" grade 8 bolts on each side to secure it to the uniframe. I also have the nuts that the mounting bolts get secure with welded to the angle iron so that you just have to slide the bumper in, line up the holes and torque down the bolts. The d ring tabs are also directly welded to the angle iron, very stout for sure. :JEEPIN:

edit: I lied

I found this one from when I was just starting to lay things out.

Don't credit me for the light idea, thank our brothers across the big pond :jester:

By the way they are just 194's right now and I am changing them out to the 3157 socket so it is a taillight and brake light indentical to the upper. I was going to do that this weekend but got tied up with other things. I will post pics of the 3157 set up as soon as I switch them over. :JEEPIN:
