I bought the end caps for the smittybilt MOD bumper for the front. The rear one was fine with the stock wheels. The smittybilt atlas rear bumper isn't as wide as the factory bumper.
Passed my inspection yesterday. Just a tip, do a bit of research before you pick your shop for the inspection. If you have replaced your wheels with some offset rims with massive rubber keep your stock ones because they will help keep you legal. Doesnt really matter on which shop you choose, tire poke will give you a fail. If I didn't have a stock set of wheels my bumpers would have failed me for sure.
Hey Shane, I'm still waiting for my bumper ends to arrive and my windsheild to get swapped out before I take it to a recommended shop. I'm still trying to find a set of stock wheels to use for the inspection so i don't have to redo my flares. Do you have your stock wheels still??? $$?
I have not taken it to an inspector yet but the officer who wrote me the VI did not write any specifics on the ticket. But verbally he told me:
*axels are not original to a wrangler because my jeep sits wider(I have offset wheels with spacers and 37x12.5 tires)
*my windsheild is cracked(technically not in my line of site but I will get it replaced anyways)
*my front bumper does not cover the whole width of the vehicle(smittybilt MOD bumper)I understand that one, will order the extention pieces for this particular bumper.
*And he said the rear bumper is also not a factory wrangler bumper and looks modified( smittybilt atlas bumper.)
He never said anything about tire poke but my front tires do stick out a couple inches in the front.
*He also said my exhaust was louder than a stock wrangler (magnaflow offroad catback that dumps before the axel)
*He also mentioned that my signal lights should be on the widest part of the vehicle (not sure about this one because the wrangler off the lot doesn't even comply with this on the rear)
My plan is
- remove the 52" lightbar.
- remove the stinger and order/ install the end pieces for the front bumper.
- change the wheels to stock ones
- replace windshield
- not sure what to do about exhaust yet. It's not really loud unless you are really on the gas.
- rear bumper I think should be fine
- i will also put on the front and rear custom mudflaps.
- I'm also not sure about TPMS if you need the sensors or not.
No offence to the officer who gave me the ticket hea just doing his job and im not looking to completely cheat the system. Just hoping to get my ride up to spec and not get hassled again.

Thanks, figured it was pretty good buy, you could buy 4 of them and do all 4 tires at once and it would still cost less than buying a brand name one.
