Hey guys I was wondering if there was some sort of metal air dam replacement with a stock bumper sort of like a front skid sort of thing, i like the look without an air dam but don't like seeing the crossmember

The hardrock edition rubicon air dams look identical but are metal.

I think rugged ridge and body armor make one to replace the factory plastic. But not sure weather or not you have to have there bumpers. I don't think so though.

It is just their for supporting the air dam. No structural support at all. Not part of the frame at all.

Actually it is a crash bar meant to keep vehicles from going under the jeep in a head on collision. You can remove it but it's not just to hold the air dam.

The rugged ridge fits with the factory bumper, I had one before I removed the "crash bar"

if that is the case, it is rendered useless once you lift 3" or more seeing that the entire frame including this "crash bar" has been raised and a vehicle will go under it.

Thanks
Looks good!! Good luck on painting the insert, its a pain to get them right but when done you can stand back & pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
My arms getting kinda sore :cheesy:

BTW I did the rear also & bought the rear pass side tow hook $$$

Yes it was but I was going for particular look not many JK's have & I guess it costs to complete it.

BTW, I'm pretty much done with the mods. The only thing "maybe" sometime down the road would be a winch on the stock bumper but highly unlikely.

Nice! And it's clean I like the look, mines lifted but I don't know when I'll ever be able to afford bumpers so I want mine to look nice until then, did you clear coat your hooks as well?
