    Finally painted my tire rack I've been working on for the past 2 months. I'll get a video up tomorrow.

    Machining Round Bar

    Hi, all. Looking for someone to mill or even bandsaw-cut two flats onto a 12.00" long by 1.50" diameter bar. The flats would be 6.00" long on opposite sides of one half of the bar, .250" deep. I'm in the SE Denver area. I know this is a Utah/Western Colorado-based site but thought I'd ask...

    I'm going to keep the grille just to anger everyone (and maybe embarrass myself).

    Jeep Used Smittybilt SRC Bumper

    Thank you, everyone, who gave experience and opinions. I went to look at it. Good shape. Few scratches but nothing serious. As soon as he said, "it's been here a while", I offered him $160. He took the cash, I took the bumper (which barely fits in the back with the seats down).

    Jeep Used Smittybilt SRC Bumper

    Thanks, kind of what I thought. I posted this on Expedition Portal and was told "Considering one can buy this bumper NEW for a few bucks more." So, I researched and found them for no less than $400. Of course, he didn't cite or link where that was. So, $200 sounds like half of what a new one is.

    Jeep Used Smittybilt SRC Bumper

    Hi all. I have the chance to buy a used one from a local body shop, slightly scratched, for $200. Greg gave me his opinion, which I truly appreciate, so I thought I'd ask the masses to see if they agree. I read and heard their quality leaves a bit to be desired so wanted to ask the experts...

    DakarNick's 2012 JKU

    No idea, bought it like that. Stock was color matched, wasn't it?

    New Jeeper

    Thanks You never said anything to influence me. But the ride did. Oh, and buying an Audi that I couldn't do anything in that related to hauling/towing/offroading made me realize I needed something more suitable. Thanks, Greg!

    New Jeeper

    Hi all, Nick from Parker, CO. I kind of blame Greg for my recent purchase of a 2012 JKU. I rode in his to Rabbit Valley last summer and knew I'd need something like it to explore Colorado. So, here I am!
