Cookie Cutter TJ Front Bumper

Front bumper Build:

I wasn’t a fan of the front bumper that came on the TJ when I purchased it.  Not only in the way it looked (too busy), but it also hung out quite a bit in front.  I don’t have too many photos of it on the Jeep, but it looked like this on the ground 🙂

So started fabbing up a simple stubby bumper:

I tucked it up as close as I could to still have room for a winch to fit in front of the stock sway bar:

Test fitting everything:

Assembled and painted:

I still need to get some stock TJ tow hooks to put on it as I’m not a fan of D rings (much nicer to just throw a strap on a hook for a quick yank).  The D ring mounts will be used to mount the tow bar though.
