Custom Bumper Cover...Skid Plate...Thing...

[RenegadeBullitt]

Well when I bought my KJ Renegade it had a front tow receiver on the front. I was going to remove it and buy new tow hooks but decided to just leave it on and try and get creative and cover it up while adding D-Rings to it as well. This is what I came up with. I first went out and got measurements then drew up a sketch, then did a good drawing with dimensions. Next I made a cardboard prototype then we next made a thing aluminum one. My brother in law works at a metal fab. shop so he found me a piece of scarp and cut and bent it up just how I wanted it. Once I got it from him a cut a few design slits in it and painted it up with primer then bedliner paint. I went ahead and painted my rock rails to match since they had tons of surface rust on them. I am really happy with how things came out...though it serves no function other then to hide the tow hitch plug.

Looks good to me

I feel (and this is a purely girly art family reaction) that something needs to be on the front of it! Down here we are required to have license plates in the front and back so that would have to go there, but it would look so cool with something painted, or attached!

Haha. I am actually working on adding 2 brackets to add 2 fog lights on it. If I don't like how that goes I may just end up throwing my BMX racing stickers on it or something. I wish I had a better picture of before I added it because the old bumper looked pretty dumb with a plug in the dead center haha.

I think it looks pretty good. Maybe put a jeep decal on it or something?

Looks good (of course I am biased) ... although I shudder every time I see a set of those ST's! Now you have to bedline the lower front faring to get rid of the rest of that silver ... I did my roof rails, rock rails and front faring.

Tires are going soon and no more silver are the next things on my list

I had to live with mine (ST's) for 6 months ... borderline dangerous. She looks better now that all the silver is gone... my emblems are next

P.S. Your still a light bar ahead of me

Very creative Bullitt.
Has me re-thinking fabbing up a ⅜ inch thick Dural Aluminum "Prerunner" front skid that would attach to the bottom of my Backbone winch mount and then to the bottom suspension cross member.
