Working on my jeep is one of my favorite hobbies. I know that sounds weird but working on it has actually taught me a lot about how cars work and a lot about myself. I have found that I have a very “one track mind” meaning that once I set my mind to something it’s hard to stop or change directions. Sometimes I will be working on my jeep for hours and not even realize that its midnight until my wife comes in and tells me. Everything that has been done to my jeep has been done by me and it definitely brings a certain amount of confidence knowing that I was the one who built it, while most people just take it to a shop and let someone else build their dream car.
One of the best things about a Jeep JK is that there are so many things you can do to it to make it off-road capable, and most of those things are modifications you can do yourself. The problem that most people have is that they don’t know how to do any of these modifications so they just end up paying a shop to do the modifications for them. When in reality anyone with a socket set can do most of simple stuff themselves.
Obviously not everyone knows how to work on their vehicle but everyone does have to start somewhere and this is the perfect place to start. The video below demonstrates how to take off a stock jeep bumper and how to install an aftermarket one. This was actually the first thing I did with my jeep because when you are doing extreme off-roading there are ledges and things that you will for sure scrape your bumper on. So the best solution is to put a heavy duty steal bumper on the front and rear of your jeep. What I love about the video is that it shows every step of the process of removing and installing the bumpers. Most of it is self-explanatory but there are a few steps that might be confusing to someone who hasn’t spent a lot of time working on their car.
I hope that this video not only help you guys that are struggling to put on that new bumper that you might have bought but that it also inspires you guys that haven’t made the leap yet. I hope that you guys go out there and spend your hard-earned pay checks on the cool modifications that you have been thinking about doing to your car!
