PUREJEEP 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Crawler
Stubby Front Winch Bumper Installation Write-Up
![]() |
The PUREJEEP Crawler Stubby Front Bumper was the very first hard core aftermarket front bumper to be released and in my opinion, still one of the very best that is offered in terms of quality and price. It's clean and simple utilitarian design is exceptionally functional, provides extreme approach angles and is proportionately sized to match the JK's new broad look. Essentially, it gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. Unfortunately, I didn't have a PUREJEEP Crawler Stubby Front Bumper to install myself but thanks to Chris Bader ( piginajeep ) and the on-going build-up project that 4Wheel Drive Hardware is helping him to do on his Jeep JK Wrangler, I think you'll find this installation write-up to be complete and contain everything you need to install one on your JK. |

Hutchison Beadlock Wheels
Installation Write-Up
I did an install on the Hutchinson beadlocks and wanted to give you a look at them. The first thing you notice when you pick one of these wheels is the weight–55 pounds each. The quality of the wheel is impeccable. You can tell they are produced by a company that builds for the military because these wheels look like they could stop a 50 caliber round.

DISCUSSION: Due to certain state regulations, a function for disabling the front seat video option has been incorporated into the vehicle. This function will enable or disable the radios ability to play video in the front seat. If enabled, the radio will only play video when the vehicle is in Park (Automatic Transmission) or when the parking brake is set and vehicle speed is zero (Manual Transmission). If disabled the radio will NOT play video in the front seat in any operating mode.

The Jeepillac - Off Road Evolution’s Building of a Beast
When I first heard that DC was going to build a 2WD Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, the first thought that came to my head was sacralige! But then, I got to start thinking about how much cheaper a 2WD model was versus say, a fully loaded Rubicon, and then I got to start thinking... what if you took the money you saved going this route and then turned around and used it to swap in a set of bigger badder axles front and rear, add an Atlas Transfer Case, coil overs and God only knows what else.
