Modified my stock bumper by cutting the ends and adding end caps.

Good job JKTim. We have the same stubby taste. I did it a little bit different than yours.

What did you use? I got an extra plastic front fender when I bought my JK and used a piece of it for the caps.
 
I bought a black colored chopping board.
I did not cut the inner metal bumper, then bent it inward to bolt the end plastic board (end cap).
That's why you see a lot of bolts. Your's looked like you glued-weld it on the edges.
But we have the same taste!

Yes I melted them together with a soldering iron.
 
Nice! You need a fog light.
What year is your jeep? Looks like front suspension is modified.
Yea, the previous owner tied the fog light wiring into the 2 spot light on the hood which is ok for now, but they are mounted to high for fog. Yes, the jeep is molded with 1 ton axles and a 4.5 rock krawler lift and steering kit w/ a redneck ram hydraulic ram assist
