I like the idea of the bumper hidden under the plastic cover. The Jeep looks good!

Ok I took some pics tonight of my rear bumper/tow points. 5 minutes the bumper cover is off and can be left at the trailhead and thrown back on when done wheelin. The pics suck cause its dark out but serve the purpose.

I was a little worried about the strength of the rear bumper. On a ride I had to winch someone out and single line on my 9.5ti warn would not pull it out.

I had to double up with the snatch block and hooked to both points in the rear and finally pulled it out.

Swapped the 3" springs to the rear and put 4.5" BDS springs up front with 2 1/2" bumpstop extensions. Also put on BDS shocks for a 6" lift=lots o travel.

Next step is long arms.

Update: Time for long arms! Here's what happens with short arms at roughly 5" lift. The drivers side UCA is ripped off completely.

The pass. side is 9/10 of the way off.
