Powder coat it.

Don't paint it. It'll look like garbage in 2 weeks.


Looks nice though. Protect that radiator!

Looks real good from the front. How much does it stick out?

I saw a jeep with a bumper like this that was out like 4ft from the vehicle (maybe less but it was a lot) and it looked ridiculous.

Im going to see if I can get it powder coated where I work. We have the ability, but Ive heard in the past they dont like to do personal stuff much.
Hopefully I can though.

Whenever I get it finished Ill post some more pics. It sticks out a bit but not nearly as bad as some of the full size stingers.

Same here. I thought about a full stinger but I like this style more.


On a side note I had some major "death wobble" on the ride home tonight so I gotta figure out whats up with the suspension before I continue modding. Hopefully its a cheap fix and I can start looking for a lift and tires next!

also, remember how much sprung weight you are adding and account for that when your doing springs....


also, it dont look half bad, but idk it just leaves something to be desired to me...


also, change those fenders out, they look like lego blocks

Could also be from some beat tires. Judging from the pictures, they look like the standard garbage tire dealer's swap around all the time.

Is it all the time? or at speed?

Quick way to check is just rotate the wheels x pattern style. If it still shakes, it's what FMX said.
