Having a stock jeep is completely OK. Mine is stock and I love it. My wife and kids can get in and out of it without too much fuss. I like the Ravine style rims too. I have the 16" Rubicon Moab's but I've been thinking about picking up an extra set of Ravines. It's a great looking jeep.
Thanks. I like the simplicity of the stock jeep, reminds me more of the old Wiley's. Normally I hate color black but on a wrangler it looks good. I need to buy bumper end caps as they were !missing for some reason.
I bought mine a month ago (02' blue sport) and the bumper caps were missing as well. Instead of buying the originals, I bought the 06' style end caps http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=281724699677. I think it looks a little better like this and its still OEM parts.
Saw those but not sure how they fit as they look nothing like the missing parts. My bumper is not wide enough now with the missing end caps(extenders). Not sure how these fit. Any photos of them on your jeep? Thx
Not yet, They just came in and I haven't had a chance to install them yet. They don't make the bumper any longer though, it just makes them look more finished.

For $9 bucks its hard to beat. The link shows how the end of the bumper is finished.

thanks. Curious to see how they look. Trying to find photos with them on a jeep. May be all I need.
Awesome. That's what I will get. Any special hardware such as retaining clips for the bolts?
I see they recommended the stuby pin to install but also says you can use OEM bolts but mine are missing. looks like I need 4 of those stuby pins.
oddly. I see they have the front and rear caps for almost 70 bucks but just the front are 9 dollars.. weird.

I bought a package of 10 of these (not 18). I found conflicting reports how many I would need so I decided to buy the lesser amount. When I get them installed this week I'll let you know how many are actually required.
I've confirmed that its 10. 3 for each side in the back and 2 for each side in the front.
thanks, i will only need 4 then since my rear is ok. appreciate the follow up.
WELL, I could have used those bumper extensions 10 minutes ago. was driving down the street and coming towards me was a huge dog running in the middle of the street pulling an outdoor metal table it was tethered too. I pulled over the side of the road and the dog and table decided to try and squeeze between me and a mail box and the table smacked right into the front of the fender and put a nice dent in it and took some paint off. had I had the full bumper it would have hit that vs the fender.
the good news is that I dont care, its a jeep and figured it will get some dings anyway. just glad the dog was ok. the owner came running up the road looking for the dog. I think he thought I hit the dog at first by the way it looked.
You're welcome. Glad I could help. The arch nemesis of most off roaders is a mud hole, a hill climb, or rock trail. Yours is going to be a dog tied to an iron table in suburbia. When you're on the trail your jeep will have the best battle scar stories. Glad to hear the dog was OK. I hope the dog's owner was at least apologetic about the situation.
thats funny, never thought of it that way lol .. yeah, dog was exhausted and scared but not a mark on him. The owner was apologetic, which I appreciated. told him no worries, glad dog is ok.
I see those bolts you bought have some sort of clip with them. guess they are needed but will put my order in for the end caps and bolts now. will finish off that open end of bumper really nice. glad you showed me these vs those ugly end caps I was going to get.
Yes the bolts have a clip (you need the clip). The clip attaches over the interior lip of the end cap that goes inside the bumper. This is the receiver for the bolt. And the bolts have blue locktite on them so this should keep them from backing out.
this is what I need right? just need for front
