    Anyone have any experience with Dirtworx front bumper?

    Close...I cheaped out on headlights and got the generic version truck-lites from Amazon after seeing a number of good reviews from other forum members. But yeah, LEDs make a HUGE difference.

    Anyone have any experience with Dirtworx front bumper?

    I agree, I love the simplicity of them. Went back and forth for months on which bumpers to go with. Simple, solid, inexpensive, well built by a small US business...checked off a lot of boxes for me. @glwood's thread above helped with my decision. I'm happy I came across that thread when I...

    A Goldilocks Story

    X3 regarding the color. Impact orange and inca gold are my personal favorites.

    I also have front and rear DW bumpers and absolutely love them.

    Tailgate interior lighting?

    I jut threw one of these on my tailgate, low tech, low cost (<$10), attaches with a magnet. Maybe not the best solution but works for my needs.

    Accent color suggestions for a black TJ?

    Good thing is, black is a good base...IMO almost any color goes with black. For me personally, it would be orange, but I'm biased being an SF Giants fan. Black and yellow if you're a Mizzou fan? Getting away from the sports combos, I think your idea of dark grey would look good, as long as...

    Photos of Jeep Wrangler TJs with 1-2" wheel spacers?

    Thanks! I currently don't have any rubbing. My TJ had very slight rubbing on my passenger side LCA with stock suspension and 31x10.5s, so I figured the spacers would help when I went to 2" lift and 1" taller/wider tires. I love the ravines, had to keep 'em:). My only tiny issue is with the...

    Photos of Jeep Wrangler TJs with 1-2" wheel spacers?

    This pic shows how much mine stick out past the flares...32x11.5 tires on stock ravine wheels (5.5 BS) with 1.5" spacers:

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    Yes, I have the standard front bumper offered by Dirtworx. I know he'll customize as far as deleting the round bar or adding a winch plate/fairlead mount, etc., but I haven't come across any mention of changing the width of the bumper. Best bet would be to reach out to Robert at Dirtworx and...

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    Just spitballing here, and probably waaaaaay more work than it's worth and probably already, but maybe just rattle can it tan, do a test fit and see how it looks? Then strip it back down before PC. Wouldn't even have to be a good rattle can paint job, just good enough to see how you like the...

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    Yeah, definitely no screws on mine...maybe reach out to Robert to inquire? A BFH and a chisel would probably get them off...reattaching would be another story;). Agree with @psrivats, they're fairly small and not all that noticeable, especially when painted black. Not sure if you're still...

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    My rear bumper came with the name plate, I like it, but would've been ok with or without it. It's a steel plate, I'm not familiar enough with metal work to have an idea how it's attached, but it's cleanly done...no bead or anything around the plate.

    Help with 2 inch suspension lift

    I also have the OME HD 2 in lift. Echoing MountaineerTom, it's a great lift, but somewhat pricey. From all that I've read, particularly on this forum, I don't think anyone can say definitively if you will or will not need a TC drop. Every TJ reacts differently. With mine, I did the lift...

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    That would've been my assumption.;) Yeah, only posted that pic for the visual of some of the tan components...there's a LOT of too far on that thing!

    Bumper Ideas: Let's See Them!

    Just my opinion, but I would agree with Chris on this. Might be a bit much, but it's tough to picture. I tried google searching tan jeep bumpers and this is all I could find. Color scheme isn't too bad IMO, but there's really only two colors involved. Mind you, I like the color scheme, not...

    Stuck in Colorado - will this Jeep help?

    Nice score on the low mileage TJ! I also have a silver 2006 4.0 6-spd manual, she had 45k on the clock when I picked her up two years ago. Congrats and welcome!

    Or Megatrash, perhaps? :oops:

    I present to you, the most horrible Wrangler grille EVER!

    The more I look at this, the more it looks like a screen grab from the Transformers/Bumblebee movie trailer. A new, evil Decepticon or something?

    Damn it...I knew I shouldn't have looked, but I looked anyway. And I just ate lunch.
