Yeah I did it. It definitely looks better but it does not provide much protection for the corners. Sure the plastic end caps didn't provide much but it was still some.

I took the milk jugs off the day I bought my Jeep. I did not like the open ends either. I bought the solid rubber end caps off Quadratec. You can also get the thin plastic end caps that just cover the opening.

Trimmed mine a while ago from an accident

Being trimmed adds no protection at all but i can aleast access the hook in the back.


To add protection to the corners i got these

IIRC A TJ rear bumper bolts up to a YJ rear crossmember, so you could do it. I have seen a few YJ's with TJ rear bumpers.
