I built my own rear bumper to mimic a RockLizard Style bumper since they no longer sell them.
Mocked it up with cardboard then built out of 1/8” plate that was sitting around a buddy’s house. here’s some pics of the process and end result. Enjoy!

I just put a new bumper on and the fog lights have halos on them. I’m going to try to hook them to the running lights
I’ll post pics when I’m done.
Never tried with the headlight style though cause I couldn’t find any that fit without modifying
I kinda like the way it goes straight across.
Yeah it does stick out a little but that’s the price you pay for doing it on the cheap. Still had plenty of clearance In the front. im happy with it.
Ok so here’s photos from the process of making the mounts and panels to cover the holes.
I was able to keep the original tow hooks in place and beefed up the mounting bolts with 1/2 bolts.
I also did the washer bottle relocation. I just need to wire the fog lights to the original wiring. Hope...
Next I’ll be making templates to cover the holes in the front under the blinkers and around the old bumper to clean it up a little. I’ll post my progress
Today I got my front end ready to put some new rubbers 265/75R16 nice meaty tires!
With this mod I Also cut the blinker housing off the bumper and repositioned the running light by making my own holes.
This allows me to still have my blinkers and running lights functional Without having to...
The ARB has the blinkers and running light holes built in already, And it’s bolt on so that’s why it’s so much. Also because the Liberty wasn’t as widely used for off-roading that’s why there isn’t a bunch of parts available.
If you know how to weld you can always get a Tj bumper and modify to...
I built one, very useful and inexpensive.
50.5” x 22.75” then cut the sides to fit with a jig saw. Made a template out of cardboard for the correct angles.
Also put a 2x2 across the center underneath for support.
Covered in black speaker carpet.
What did you use for your rear bumper? Another wrangler bumper?
What did you use for your rear bumper? Another modified wrangler bumper or fabricated?
Also what size tires were you able to squeeze on?
I got a cheep rock crawler bumper off eBay and Im going to be doing a similar modification as It seems I have more time then money to buy the ARB.
I’ll post pictures of the journey and end results.
Hey, I’m looking to do something similar, looking to put an aftermarket wrangler grill on my 05 Rene to give a different look. You said some of the problems you ran into was the grill sizes? How far off are the headlight holes?
