That's going to look great. I considered a stubby bumper, but I work in the woods and use my bumper to push crap out of the way a lot (trees, gates, cows, possibly zombies) and wanted the extra protection. I'm getting my suspension done tomorrow and then I'll post some pics. This will complete "Phase 2" of the build out.
Nice! Yeah, I had a full width bumper on my JKU. I liked it, but wanted to change it up a bit. What lift did you go with?

I was testing the flex on the new lift at the property yesterday (not the greatest spot to test flex, but whatever). Rear tire stuffed and makes contact with rear inner fender. Probably will look at replacing the fenders at some point in the future, but so far I am very happy with the ride and flex of the new suspension.

I just got done installing the Dynatrac Enduro sport and I put a 1/2” spacer in front too. Quality stuff for sure and no drama on the install. I’ve only driven it a few miles but so far so good. I’ll let you know how it goes. I drive a lot for work...and a lot off-road so the Enduro sport sounded good to me.

PS- I’m with you on the fenders! Gotta go on mine.

I wanted to order Dirty Life 9303 DT1 in matte gold but quite a few places said they were backordered and maybe 4+ weeks out. I ended up ordering a set of the new Icon Compression in dark bronze and can't wait to see them on the Punk'n. It goes into the shop on the 29th to install all of my hard parts for protection, and hopefully wheels at the same time. As soon as I get some pictures of the complete build I will post them on here.

Punk'n is absolutely something that I fell in love with as soon as I saw the color.
@sundevil827 Did you have to do a little grinding on the frame in order to fit the winch on your bumper? Reading through the instructions it appears a little grinding may be necessary to accommodate the winch. I've got the bumper sitting here and winch is coming on Tuesday. I'm impatient and really wanting to get this installed, but don't want to do any unnecessary grinding if I can avoid it. Thanks

Short version is "yes"

Upon removing the factory bumper had to do some grinding because the welds were ridiculous. If it was a machine it looked like they had run it twice or something, had to do that in order to consider being able to get the bumper on. That said, there was a little grinding for the winch as well. If it was me, I'd sit and wait until Tuesday to make sure that you don't take off too much. Just my 2 cents though....

Thanks for the info. I got some measurements for the winch and went ahead and did the grinding. Couldn't wait any longer, LOL. Here are a few pics of the bumper installed. Winch and D-rings should be here in a couple days. :)
