Front Bumper Replacement


Summary

We weren't in love with style of front bumper the jeep had on it, even though it was already after market. Sticks out really far and it didn't met our needs or style. Since we were replacing the winch anyway and the bumper has to come off to do that we took the opportunity to give Inky a front bumper face lift.

The bumper is designed to have an LED light bar installed in it, however that light bar is too deep to fit with the winch we are using, so instead I had a custom piece of steel cut by send.cut.send with Jeep Inky carved into it. I will be back lighting that to light up with green led light strips in the near future. I designed out the steel cut sizes and drew it up and submitted it online. They cut and shipped my steel plate within about a week, was amazing, especially for a one off.
