tried to find some pictures of how mine looks under the headlights, I have hardly any room at all, but not one good shot. Here are a couple though to maybe compare, yes I cut my right side fender a little high, was a real reason for it at the time :wink:

will try and get some better ones tomorrow for you

I was just in the garage cutting the fog light shrouds. I did not put them on yet because of the winch. I have a feeling I am going to have to take the sucker off to install it and well...that is just one less thing to remove to get the bumper off

I do love the bumper though and am glad to hear the mine is not the only one that fits that way. Thank you Jeepskate. On the shaker can paint...what black would you go with? I honestly know virtually nothing about spray paint. Is there a specific one or better one to use around the radiator and transmission cooler?

I like the RL bumpers too but the time frame was not an option to me, even though they do make a great product. For my rear bumper I might just have to make my own or modify one that is out there...time will tell. Kirk can you weld :twisted:

I have about the same gap on mine.

At the moment my plan is to wait for the RL. I really like the fact that it will be winch convertible. I can't afford one right now anyway so I am content to sit tight. I really like that it will be skinned with 1/8" to make it a little lighter too. I would even think about swapping out my HD rear for one of the lighter ones that they are considering to start making. I have the factory tow package anyway so there is no real need to have two receivers in the back. Time will tell.

I actually can. I was a steel fitter in a previous life. I have been keeping my eye out for cheap, quality, used MIG welder (I know. I'm not asking for much there huh?). But I can tell you one thing for sure. My welds will never be as nice as the ones that the boys from RL put down. By the time I bought a welder and the materials and spent the time laying it out, mocking it up, cutting the parts, cleaning up the welds and prepping for paint and then painting it; I would be into it for more money than it would cost me to buy a HD RL (not to mention the time involved). Still, I think about it sometimes. . .

Absolutely gorgeous....

hmmm Kirk, if you are going to get rid of your RL HD rear bumper let me know

I might just be interested. It would be a second hitch for me also but would give me the chance to get the tire off the rear door.

Powdrdaze...are your turn signals right up against the bumper? Mine sit back a bit.

Tom, what WAS the reason for the high cut? You trying to show off a little more leg?

I am pretty happy with how it turned out and it seems every time I head into the garage to look at it, which is a lot, I like it even more.

long story of my wife coming back from shopping, her trying on and showing me something she bought and .... :oops:

well lets say the saw cut up when it should of cut down and end result was I had to even it out.... :oops:

Women should never do that to a man with any type of cutting tool in his hands :shock:

If I ever find a set of rear Renegade flares I have the fronts to fix that :wink:
