With so many options finding a bumper for your Jeep JK can be a chore but we find a stout solution in the form of the Rock Hard Shorty. We install one on our Jeep Rubicon JK, hit the trail, bash it and report back.

4xFix.com provides an easy fix to the Jeep JK's poorly placed Evaporation canister. It is a must do before you hit the trail.

We add more flex to our Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited by installing Poly Performance's Synergy Suspension system. New coils, adjustable control arms, beefy track bar mounts and shocks specifically valved for the JK make this one nice kit. Follow along for the install and results.

When you mount the Rock Hard skid there is no need to remove the OEM skid plate, the Rock Hard skid bolts right over it creating a double layer of steel to protect your tank.
