VIDEO : Performance Improvement Front Bumper for Pippi

[wayoflife]

Wheeling your Jeep is the best way to know what mods, if any, it really needs or could benefit from. And, after a year of wheeling Pippi, our stock JL Wrangler 2-Door Sport, it had become clear to Cindy and I, what one of them might be for her - a new front bumper. In this video, you'll get to see what we decided to replace the big, wide and plastic one that came on her from the factory and why, as well as how to get it installed.

Nice! Looks so much better!

I think the factory 10th anniversary style bumper is my favorite out there. I always wanted one for my two door. Looks so much better than the plastic one.

I agree

Jeep really did great with this bumper style. I just wish they did the same with the rear.

I have really been thinking hard about getting a stock steel bumper for my Gladiator

I’ll pretty much say the same thing I said on YouTube, but I like the path you are talking with Pippi. Jeeps are really expensive now, and I’m sure lots of people are watching their pennies while trying to wheel. There are used factory parts everywhere. I also think putting the air dam on was a good call. I could be wrong, but I believe the removal of it causes a big loss in mileage, and it is easily removed if it turns out to be in the way. That bumper looks a lot better, too.

It looks good. If you can pick one up for the right price, go for it.

Yeah. Finding one for a good price will probably be hard. Most of the jeep bumpers that I've seen for sale has been the plastic ones. To get a new steel bumper is over $1000

Great move for what Pippi build is about.
Looks

 

[AZVAJKU]

Looks great!

 

[onlyone]

Best looking factory bumper the wrangler has ever had. Looks great!

 

[jeeeep]

it's been a year? damn!
I like that bumper, good clean design.
I've been looking for a decent priced take-off over the past year but nothing to be found that wasn't priced like new.
I went with el cheapo knock off, looks close enough less than 1/2 the price...but you do get what you pay for lol

 

[TrailHunter]

Much Better. It'll compliment some "stock" 35's too.

I was waiting for this one, I figured what better for a stockish budget build than a steel rubicon stubby. I was wondering if you would do this or the winch tray with EVO D-ring mounts when the time came.

 

[Sgt_USMC]

Looks pretty good too! Gives it a more aggressive look, but keeps the stock feel that you and Cindi are going for.

 

[Bear_JT]

Pippi looks great with her new bumper. A lot tougher looking for sure.

 

[WJCO]

That looks so much better.

I am in naples florida and I make custom 3/16 steel bumpers both front and back, price depends on fabrication,

I enjoyed the video about Rubi-Pippi but was disappointed that no dog video was included.
