Stubby or full width? What's your take?

Stubby, if you plan on hitting trails. I had a full width bumper but had to cut it stubby due to tire rub.

99% of the time it’s a daily driver, but I want to hit some trails again soon.

Stubby. Took my bumper end caps off to see how I liked it, and never put them back on.

I just did the same and I think I’m gonna stay stubby. Just wanted to see what others think.

My ‘18 JL has been stubby since I brought it home. It’s my daily driver, does some easy off-roading and rated trails. Love the look.

Same. My end caps are collecting dust in the garage. Never put them back after installing the bumper.

Does anyone know why there’s an extra hole on the top part of the passenger side bumper? You can barely see it in the stubby pic.

That hole is for a trail flag.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

For trails, stubby all the way. But for looks, I’d go full width.

Actually, I like the stubby look, but with those wide factory flares, it feels off.

Yup, skinny high cut fenders are the way to go. My TJ is getting the KDB Poly flares soon.

Stubby. Always stubby.

Stubby only looks good when you’re built. Otherwise, it looks like you skipped leg day.

Stubby always.

Stub.

ARB stubby.

Not looking to buy anything, just curious about the factory bumper with end caps on vs off.
