Winter Storm Warning for tomorrow here where I live.

After cracking my front spoiler in the last big snow, I learned my lesson and took it off for this storm. It sure is fugly without it on there.



Here it is with the spoiler on...

Get a 4xGuard front skid plate. $260 shipped. Will protect the bottom of the radiator, help streamline the front end, and clean up the aesthetics.

I don't care much for them. I looked at them a while back, but they are just not for me. I like my painted to match special Overland spoiler, but didn't want to eff it up more in the deep snow again.

If I did anything to the front bumper I would replace it with an ARB painted to match with a warn winch built in. :thumbsup:

Atta way to go all out! :thumbsup:

Just be aware it will slightly exaggerate the rake and may look a little odd on a stock height WK - so lift it while you're at it!

Oh yea a lift would be key with that bumper. I am thinking about lifting this summer. :D

The ARB sucks. Weighs a TON, and hurts your approach angle.

The only angles I would be approaching is a parking space block.:lol:

I have the old Jeep for serious offroad adventures.:)

I took that cheap piece of plastic off my WK because I couldn't slide under the front to reach the oil drain plug with it on there. Never did put it back on and probably never will. Looks fine to me. :D

For anyone who removes your front spoiler; Paint your radiator support! Unless you have a black, dark blue, brown WK.

I painted mine and it blends in soo much better, looks like the air dam was never there.

Considering my first Jeep had a piece of 1/2" steel 2"x6" channel welded to the frame as a front bumper, I guess "finished" is in the eye of the beholder. :D

If I want to look good while driving I take the Mustang GT. When I want to know I will get where I am going regardless of conditions, I take a Jeep.

I had taken mine off so i dont break it and i could not stand how bad it looks w/o it on there w/o a lift kit and accessories tha ti put it back on. I did eventually break off the end tab on the pass side but i will just get a new one for summer use and keep this one for winter use.

I trimmed mine up to the moulded line just about 1/2 way. It just covers the support but gives a little more clearance. Here's a before and after pic:

08's and up WK's IMO look horrible with out the front valence. 05-07 grands can pull it off no problem.
