New stubby bumper with stinger on my KJ

I'll get better pictures tomorrow to post. However, we just got this bumper fabbed up, painted and put on tonight so here's the first pictures of it. I plan on adding D-rings and a winch plate latter. Right now the turn signals are held on with zipties, but I'm gonna replace them with some LED turn signals on the bumper.

I love it... how far does the stinger stick out?

I forget. I'll look and get a better picture tomorrow in the daylight.

Are you going to cover up the subframe or just leave it exposed? What about the wheel wells, leaving them out?

Looks really good. Interested to see how the finished product will turn out.

Any thoughts of fabbing up some more and selling them?

I think the subframe we'll just paint black. Gonna wire up some turnsignals this weekend I'm hoping. You could add about anything you want to the bumpers. I'm gonna add some D-rings so I have a recovery point on the front. As far as fabbing more and selling them.......I don't know lol. I'd have to ask the guys. If there is enough intrest I'm sure something might be worked out. I'll run it by them next week. This one took less than a day to do.

Just a thought.....
What about making a small bracket to mount the turns back up under the flares? It might look a little cleaner than having them cable tied until you do the led's. Also having them remounted up under the flares it would hide some of the upper subframe, better protect the wiring if you loomed them and look a little more factory. Just my :2cents:

Good idea

I might just do that nexttime I stay after hours at the shop to work on it. Finding some LEDs that I like and are small enough has been more of a chore than I thought it would be :cry:

Hers where I bought mine several years ago that I installed where the factory driving lights go in the grille. I just made a "u" style bracket to mount them because they have a rear stud that the wires go through, very easy. I also bought the protective clear cover for them, just make sure to glue/seal the covers on real good.

edit: you'll also need a resistor installed inline or a flasher for led lighting otherwise you'll get a fast flash.
