That is a great trick. Would love to do that, but not very sure of my cutting abilities with the reciprocating saw. (Does anyone else call those "sawzall"?)
Have enjoyed your video’s. Stubby bumper was like my first major mod on a brand new rubi.... was a little nerve racking taking a knife to my brand new Jeep but this is pretty simple for most to do. The only thing I would add is painting the steel portion of the bumper once cutting. I have since sold my stubby and installed an after market bumper.. I do think you put your videos together quite professionally... keep it up .... Jeep wave from Toronto !!!
Hey AdventureDex do a diy video of you installing some limb risers..i have some on my ‘11 Jk Rubicon. I think they be a great addition to your jeep. I have the smittybuild set & they go well for when you have an off road 50” light bar so it still fits.
@@madisonmartinez3667 basically the same way as this video except I cut a small portion from the cap so i could reuse it, then made that cut 3.5" like in the video. I think I did 4" tho
Looks a lot better. These are plastic? I don't like cutting metal on the JK to replace with plastic. I read the RC ones are steel. Of course, both look nicer than stock.
Working on this now with my dad. This is purely a cosmetic fix as the end caps are not stable once secured. Will need to try and find replacement bolts to make the caps more secure. They actually wiggle when touched. Looks cool, just not going to be good for resale value if you plan to trade your Jeep in.
I think this is a decent idea. I have a TJ not a JK and my front bumper stock but cut short. Smaller bumpers are way more useful Offroad. My only question is I've looked around at JK bumpers with friends and you can get a decent one for a little over a hundred bucks how much do is end caps cost and at the end of the day isn't it really better to just get a decent aftermarket bumper for a hundred and forty bucks?
Hey, just bought a 2018 jeep and im looking for a rear bumper tire carrier and that can add a cargo basket on it... it doesn't matter the price so long its top quality... any suggestions?
AdventureDex yah thanks, im waiting for my lift its a 3.5" from rubicon or i think thats the brand and a slant hardtop from smittyblit ... im kinda new to the jeep community is it possible you can let me know some good brands to get mods
Bought a 2014 Sahara last week. I used to have a 2005 TJ Sport before I wrecked it. Just realized nothing is metal anymore. Its all plastic bumpers, grills, and fenders. Kinda disappointed. Also, airbag has a recall because it might explode like a grenade. They lowered their standards
i bought these about 2 months ago. they work great and install was easy. www.amazon.com/Approved-Daymaker-Headlight-Wrangler-Unlimited/dp/B076KL14HQ/ref=sr_1_15?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1523543068&sr=1-15&keywords=xprite+jeep+headlights
Dude you did the damn thing. Im impressed. It actually looks a lot better after your mod than before.
Wow it looks great, awesome job! This is a great money saving video, thanks for sharing.
Marks the bumper then cleans it off? Classic!
LMAO!!
Glad wasn’t the only one that noticed 😂
Lolololololo yup
That is a great trick. Would love to do that, but not very sure of my cutting abilities with the reciprocating saw. (Does anyone else call those "sawzall"?)
Wow...I was shocked at how it turned out! Nice!!!
Been wanting to make a stubby bumper but wasnt 100% sure how but now i know what to do thanks.
Glad you found it helpful Cody!

Nice easy upgrade 👍

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
I did my own stubby bumper but used the ends that I cut off as the end caps. Mine weren't crumpled so they worked perfect
That’s a great idea!!
How did you do it ?
Ya curious on how?

Ordered the kit today, thank you sir....
I just ordered two matching bumpers over $1k but well worth it
I am a huge fan of this video! I do like the budget friendly installation video, but is your budget running low? Check out getting a rhino rack!
Thanks for the support!! I will check it out!!
Another great video
Thanks Cody!

Thanks for sharing! This is a great option for those who are looking for a "cheap solution".
👍
Where did you get the end peices?
Good video love the editing👍🏻
Thanks man! I appreciate the feedback!
What tires you running. They look great
The donkey! lol. I hate seeing cowl dings from careless doorless removers. Easily prevented dent. Mod looks good!
LOL Thanks for watching!
Très bon travail j’adore 👍
Thanks!
@AdventureDex Do a video on a hitch brake light !
Thanks for the suggestion!!
Hi, where can I get the ends n the screws? I have the same situation with my Jeep
Thanks
Check the link in the description! Jeepeave
Looks good!!!!🙂
Thanks!
Is the tape at a angle when I measured the top part and then the bottom part of the bumper the bottom tampers in
Nice
Thanks!
What kind of tabs you use to hold it in place?
What to do on the part of the bumper part where the hooks are there is a crease on mine
Question
What if you dont want stubby? Can I use it to cap off my original bumper ?
New to the Jeep world - how big can I go with tires and lift before I have to worry about changing the gears in the rear end
I would recommend a 2.5" Teraflex lift and 35's. That is a solid set up. Thanks for watching!
thanks for info - enjoy your videos
Does anyone make a loop/hoop that will bolt on to the stock bumper after making the end cap mod?
What about a winch?
Use a silver Sharpie....
Yah would be better but didn't have one handy! Thanks for watching!
Can this be done with the rear bumper as well?
Love it!
Thanks!!
Where can I buy these parts in Canada ?
Do they come as a set of two or do you have to buy two? The website does not clearly say
Carter Boone they do come in a set of 2
It’s a set 👍🏼
Hey, just bought a 2018 jeep and im looking for a rear bumper tire carrier and that can add a cargo basket on it... it doesn't matter the price so long its top quality... any suggestions?
Congrats on your Jeep! I believe Teraflex makes one!
AdventureDex yah thanks, im waiting for my lift its a 3.5" from rubicon or i think thats the brand and a slant hardtop from smittyblit ... im kinda new to the jeep community is it possible you can let me know some good brands to get mods
Poison spyder, teraflex, Smittybilt, rugged ridge, rock krawler, metal cloak, those are few of many. Some of the best imo and experience though.
alex nasiadka thanks
Great solution 👌🏻👍🏻😎👍🏻👌🏻😎😎

Um, I noticed the gaps where these come together. I think you may have put them on upside down.
j'ai pas capté c'est quoi comme embout qu'il faut ajouter en bout ? quelqu'un peut me dire ?? merci :)
😵 great look. does it come with the lock screws?
Yup!! Thanks for watching
Do a how to remove door dimple video!
Haha no simple solution for that one! Thanks for watching!
Cowel guards are a great “fix”
What size are the tires on the jeep
These are 35's
@@adventuredex 35’s with stock suspension correct? No front number rubbing with this mod?
Do a headlight upgrade
Any recommendations?
i bought these about 2 months ago. they work great and install was easy.

A “precise cut” with a saws all?
And why did you just clean off the ball point pen marks? 😂
Do you live in the Bahamas?
I work for the secret service and this information cannot be disclosed LOL :p
I forgot to add I have the sports unlimited
See my answer below!
Never cut, Hot water will do it all for you
All depends on how bad it is!
Yea you may need to decrease before you mark lol I’m sure you wiped that ink right off
LOL you seen that hey!
I guarantee he marked again after that clean up 😂
new ones are thin plastic, compared to the older steel ones, not worth buying
Did you sell your Jeep yet?
No never!! Haha 😆
35s with no lift😂
Haha you notice that too! :p
AdventureDex don't need no lift for these Jeep's
looks ugly.... plenty of used bumpers out there. cheap
Does the kit come with both ends or just 1 end?
Found the answer👍
