Didn’t realize the Willy’s bumper is metal underneath the plastic in the middle. Pulled it off. I’ll get the new one on in the morning.

Really easy install. I’ll grab better pics later. I’ll need to figure out something to cover the recessed area for the winch.

Chainlink fence is certainly shaking at the sight of the improved bumper !

You'll have to pardon my lack of accessory knowledge, but what does the tubular bar attached to the top of the bumper supposed to do?
Look cool.

No, but really it's intended to push brush/branches out of the way. It's "frontal protection" which only kind of works in this case.
Its actually to aid in roll overs too, hence the angle and length. It keeps the jeep upright in certain roll scenarios. Real dumb if you never do actual off road and have the cage to go with it.

30k for a JLU with auto and Hardtop. The temptation is real....
Now we know why FCA has been moving so many.... $5500 sitting on the hood of a 35.5kMSRP is EPIC. 15% off sticker... :notbad: so even with the price increase an "average" JLU is now transacting at JKU prices or less. Since it was hard to find anything under 2k off ... ~2500 price increase... and you're still ahead with this :dill:

Where's the first aid kit, roadside assistance kit, and cargo net? :sad:

Bad :dillerman: right thurr.

Only thing it's missing is the upgraded radio and speakers. I'd actually go for that. Overall not too bad though :notbad:

Jeeps have some of the best radio aftermarket you can get, I’m sure you can get a small sub and amp, for say $500 and call it a day. Finding one that just has the stereo at the sport trim is impossible, unless you special order... either way these low option specs are great. This :dillerman: is ordering them right... not like it is a white soft top Sahara with a :manuel: for 50k
