yeah Im gonna get some better photos of the bumper soon for my avatar. I still dont know what to do with the turn signal wires.. what are the wire splices for?

 

There are turn signals in the bumper, you have to splice the wires from your stock bumper turn signals onto the TJM turn signals. You may want to remove some excess wire too. Am I missing something or is this what you meant?

 

yeah.. do I solder them on? I gotta figure out which ones are the signals and which are the old fog lights.

I might part out my old bumper.. I know some ppl might need some old signals and fog lights

 

That looks great and will do so much. I need one of those badly!

 

I just used electrical tape when I did mine (bought it used), then used the connectors they give you when I helped Pat do his new one. It seems to work fine.
As for the old bumper, if it isn't in horrible condition, why not sell it whole, here or on ebay?

 

ok awesome.. still gotta strip the sheeving off the wires from the bumper as I need some bare wire to work with. I'll try the connectors hopefully.

my bumper has a badplace on bottom.. a repair was done before I owned it there.. women who owned it decided to run into a rock bench or something. its still good, could use some touchup paint here and there.. gonna sell my running boards for sure on ebay. and my brushguard is going to a friend.

 

That TJM looks good. That would be my choice too over the T-17. Nice choice.

My next mod is the bumper on mine.

 

sounds good man.. I need to take another good pic of the car.. I really gotta figure out how these splices work. eh I'll figure it out later.

my OEM rear springs and shocks came.. all thats left is front spacers.. then its installation of locker/lift/slider all in one day

 

keep the bumper. when you sell it in the future, you will want to take every mod off and build it back to stock. finding a bumper will cost you more than probably you'd make on the sale.

just my dos centavos.

appreciate the advice Bob. I think ill store it in the attic.. throw on a cover to keep it safe. I still think im gonna ditch the running boards for some extra money.

 

can a winch be mounted on the t-17, they look easy to mount. and does anyone know if you can pick the TJM bumpers from distributers like 4x4 connection, only about an hour from here, and would save me $135

 

I have a winch on my T-17

 

from 4x4 stores.. they pay the same shipping I pay, then mark it up some, so you arent looking at a cheaper deal
