i had my winch plate plus my grill guard from olympic 4x4, stock fog lights and hella lights all mounted on my stock bumper, i had to do some cutting and welding, but 5 hours later it looked pretty good.
Osmosiz, nice. Ever think about Painting you Headlight Bezels Black. I have a silver/Gray jeep too and will be painting mine when the weather gets nicer out.
Yea ive been trying to find a nice day to do it for the last 2 weeks. just havent gotten around to it. might do it this weekend. ill post pics if i do. i love the way it looks.. thinking about even covering the grill black (i got a scratched up chrome grill cover from a buddy):cheers2:
yes you can see some stutter cuts in the second pic, I plan on having it bump into rocks anyway, it's not a big deal.
30 minutes with a sawzall, grinding wheel, and some spray paint. I think the front bumpers look good chopped, no need for an aftermarket bumper. Save weight and just get a brush guard/winch (if need be, that's my plan)
Question: Can you take those rubber bumper guard things off? I'd like to have a bumper that's flat across the front.
im glad i cut it b/c it looked goofy with it being so big in the first place... it will be like this for now until i get money for a heavy duty shorty front bumper..
The rubber rock caps someone asked about are available from Quadratec for about $100 front and rear. I just took mine off today to install a new bumper. I'm letting a friend of mine have them for $50.

Those are the stock bumper caps from 06' TJ's. I got them for free from a guy that put tube bumpers on his 06 X model. You can save yourself a couple bucks if you can find a set at the junk yard or know someone who is putting an after market bumper on their 06.
Put this hoop on and 10k hooks. Can't post pics, here's a link. Mines the first Jeep. BTW, this guy does nice work if you would like a sturdy hoop for your stock bumper. Five star! http://www.redjeepclub.com/hooptjsl.php
Here's my stock shorty bumper. I got the idea from this post. Got some help from a little Harbor Freight Grinder. I'm going to add a hoop or bolt on stinger.
Pulled the milkjugs, added a Rugged Ridge light hoop and a pair of KC Slims.
