SOOOOO. I hate my stock bumper. I think its the worst invention since chocolate covered pretzels and lymes disease. Im not a fan. I want to upgrade but all the bumper I like are over $500 and STILL need to be painted/coated. I was thinking about cutting my stock bumper right beyond those ugly stock rubber bumpers on the front and make it a stubby, put a winch plate on the factory frame, and then put on the Olympic stinger (seen here: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12006_900X_PG.htm?gclid=CJWi2L6l3tECFQEpaQodXysCug). This is NOT meant for the stock bumper but will fit because it uses the upper and lower bolt holes for the tow points. This DOES however leave a 3/4" gap in the front between the front of the bumper and the front section of the C that touches 3 of the 4 sides of the factory bumper. I am thinking of a solution to keep tow points in the front if I do this and how to put something to fill that 3/4 gap because a decent hit would bend that in easily. UGH why does no one make a coated and good looking stubby bumper and a bull guard/stinger for our tjs.. I also have 2 offroad lights on the front of my bumper I want to keep/transfer if needed.
How would you address those problems? Would you say its not worth it?
