question - what did you think about the STT pros in the time that you had them? Especially in the wet.
Thanks

I removed the plastic bumpers from the JK and added the steel Rubicon Hard Rock ones. Includes a steel skid plate up front to replace the plastic air dam:





And I also added the clear marker lights, so now it looks more like a 2016:

Thanks - yeah the Hard Rock bumper is really cool. It's made out of the same thickness metal almost as the Rough Country bumper I had on the XJ, and it's modular, so you can turn it into a stubby bumper if you want to.
Another feature of it is the ability to add a winch and fairlead if I ever wanted to, and it sits low in the bumper as not to block the radiator.
The back bumper is also steel, and it has a spot for a larger tire carrier.
Everything was a direct bolt-on, but I had to grind some nuts off of my trailer hitch because the rear bumper has 4 threads in it that replace the weld nuts on the hitch.
