This bumper is basically all show. I hated the stock bumper and turn signals, so I had to ditch it. Making room for some 285s! |

Very nice build, did you get a weight before you installed? I am at the beginning stages of building mine with a removable front hang glider rack. I am not going for armor. Looks and the ability to support 100lbs at the most with three gliders on the rack. Man these little tractors are time and money pits ....

This was just something to clear that nice FREE 285s an make it look more like a guy's Jeep instead of Barbies! This thing will see light trails and snow. I have bigger toys when I want to go have fun! |

By the way, has anyone else moved their turn signals in to the grill? I think it looks MUCH BETTER!!

Oh nice. I used factory JK lights. As you can tell I'm new to KJs, but I'm loving the CRD |

Hell yeah! good job on that bumper...nice to see a change in styling. The only thing I would've done different is the recovery part.. No matter good your welds are I just don't trust those weld on d-rings. |

Just seems an occasional "ATTABOY" might beat constructive criticism? Bob |

I wanna see it turned and flexed out. My 32.2" tires rubbed a hair when I was at 3.75", went up to 4.25" and I could easily fit 33s with minor rub. But now im going 5.25" lift so 33s are no problem. Looks good, like the different bumper style you have. You gonna regear? |

Not sure yet if I'll regear. The other 4 wheels get here Monday, so I'll get some better pics of it then. They rubbed badly when I first test fit them, but after a bit of trimming and coaxing with the BFH, the shouldn't rub for normal driving. |
