Title: Got this far

So I got the new front bumper in....they sent the wrong brackets to hang it.   So it sits like this until the brown truck shows up Friday or Sat.

yeah sorry gents, crappy documentation.  The stock bumpe (what's left of it) is under the jeep and the new bumper is in the box in front of the jeep waiting on a new bracket...then I have to pre drill the fog holes and I am hopeful this bracket shows up Friday.

this the the bumper I bought.  (I am the FIRST person to get it...just saying)

Too bad.  Those fenders are killer!. Quit screwing around.  Go at least 4" and be done with it!

Very nice! How much did it drop the front?

Passenger side fender has an uneven gap.  Just saying... Haha

Seriously though, it looks good.  I like it!

You know I didn't even weight it or check it..it is only about 20 lbs heaver than stock.  Those tow hooks pretty beefy.  I don't think it dropped much if any at all.

No winch for this bumper, you cannot put one on it..I didn't want it.  I wanted the full width look with less gap to the fenders.   The cheaper bumpers out there are pretty low quality.  I am going to put a light bar on it...maybe even a 30.

Stop.    :om:



You think I just now noticed it?     I saw it within like 5 seconds.  BUT there is a reason young Jedi.   

The GD Cow's at my one of my hunting leases 2 years ago used my fenders for a rubbing post and bent the front bracket holding that fender.   I need to pull it off and bend it back.  These are the same GD cows that used my King Ranch to rub their ear tags on my paint. 

But at the same time, it is kind of an illusion, its not as bad as it looks.  They are pretty level.

I did spend 20 min re aiming the Fogs last night and decided that I am going to go ahead and buy two more Aurora 2x2's and put them in place of the Texas Liberty Patriot's that are there.   Now I know I can mount them in that Poison Sypder (Rigid) fog bracket.

You know, you're right.  A 30" bar would probably look about perfect up there. Will it fit between the tow hooks?

Tom, i was thinking of behind the tow hooks about center.

That should look - and perform - quite nicely.

I like that idea! It would look and work well.

Ever think of putting a slight tint on them to match the look of the jeep overall a little?

I would look at actual window tint, even if you did 30% it would look really nice.

Depending on the brand, some make a plastic tinted lens that snaps over the light.

I think Aurora has some Green and amber covers.  Will look into it.   
Gotta get past Christmas first.   Spent a lot on the jeep already.

I can only find the cube light covers.  I'd like an amber cover for the 20".
