Thought I'd post a few pics of my bumper project. Like most guys, I'd like to replace the bumpers on my Jeep with some cool aftermarket bumpers but that just was not in the budget at this point as I'm saving for a week long wheeling trip at the end of July. I decided to modify the stock bumper just for a different look. I cut a few inches off the ends, boxed them in and filled the extra holes.

Before I started....





During the project....







And this is what I came up with for a couple hours of time in the garage and about $20....

So I got a chance to go back and look at my measurements. Here is what I did:

-I cut 3 1/2" off each end of the bumper
-I started the diagonal cut 2" down from the top of the bumper
-The angle I used for the diagonal cut was 65 degrees
-The diagonal cut was 5 3/4" over from the 3 1/2" cut line so I took a total of 9 1/4" off the bottom of the bumper
-I used 1/8" x 3" wide steel I picked up at Lowes to box in the ends and bottom
