Default New Bumpers are on (JCR)

Got my rear bumper installed today and the front the other day. Went pretty easy and didn't break any bolts. It's the DIY version of the rear but they already had it welded because it was the prototype one. I like it and it fits well.

I'm really happy with JCR's products. had both bumpers a week to the day I ordered. I recommend them to anyone looking for a bumper. Next up is the Deluxe Ultimate Sliders. Here's hoping I win the 200.00 in JCR bucks otherwise the woman wont like me spending more money on the Jeep.

The front with the new KC's.

Next up is to remove the flares and cut the fenders. Need to figure out how I'm gonna go about the rear fenders though to not cut out the welds.

3" with 265/75/16. Had to trim bumper caps and some metal at the back of the front wheel wells to keep from rubbing. Still rubs the fender lip. That's getting fixed though. Gonna cut them bad boys up soon to keep from slicing my tread.

This one is the DIY version which looks different than their current production model. So you'd have to weld it yourself. I got lucky and got their prototype they were using on FB and their website to show it off.

How rugged is the 2" receiver on the front bumper? I've been looking at the deluxe bumper and have a winch cradle. 3/16 with a 2" receiver seems iffy to me...

That's a slick looking ride man, and if you want to cut the rear fender look into the cut and fold method. Basically you make vertical cuts between the pinch welds and then pound the slices into the inner fender and out of the way
