Rubicon steel bumper mod

[commandojk13]

Has anyone else made a cover panel for the back side of the steel front bumper when the end caps aren’t installed? The back side being open leaves the fog lights and everything too exposed in my opinion and just looks unfinished.

This guy made his own out of 3/16 abs plastic. I’ve made some templates and ordered the plastic sheets to do my own but wasn’t sure if anyone else had made some or any company made them. Here is his video link

There are a few threads about it on here. Best bet is to google "search term+JLWranglerforum".

I tried. Didn’t come up with anything. Not sure what correct terminology would be.

Apparently this company makes them but man are they pricey

Not sure if they produced any more. I got one of the first batch ??

Sheet of ABS plastic or Kydex and would be easy to make for not too much money.

Yeah I got 2 12x12 sheets of 3/16 from crutchfield for $27.

Never understood why Jeep, Mopar or any of the hundreds of aftermarket Jeep manufacturers haven't sold a fitted plastic cover for this. There's a need for it imo (cover exposed wiring), and they'd easily get $20 to $50 for a set of cheap molded plastic pieces.

Someone needs to explain profit through volume to this guy. If they were half the price and without the ridiculous logo, I'd pull the trigger. So would many others, I would venture to guess.

More items need to lose the logo…I have purposely not purchased something I like due to logos. If you want to know who makes an item…ask the owner…sure most of them can tell you.

Agree. The ones made last year by member worked out great for under $50. I was lucky to get in the initial group ??

Yeah, I watched that whole thing from the start. The PayPal thing is what stopped me from jumping on the bandwagon. I have that kydex (or whatever it's called) but not the time to spend on it with other to-dos on my Jeep list.

When work slows down after memorial day, I'll probably let my brother make me a set. He works for me and is an excellent steel fabricator, so plastic will be a cake walk.
