Let's design a Trailhawk front bumper
Hey all, I just bought a jet set blue 2018 Trailhawk on Memorial day weekend. :ReneBlueWave:
Since I just made my first payment, I figured it was time to do some mods.
I already added a roof rack and rails so far.
I want to design a front bumper or bumper guard for the Renegade. I'm starting this thread to put some ideas down and get some ideas from you guys.
Here's my requirements so far:
1. I don't want to change the body or lines of the car i.e. I'm leaving the bumper on and adding to the outside.
2. It needs to provide protection underneath for off roading
3. It can't hinder ground clearance - since it's new i wont be lifting this thing for awhile. I need all the ground clearance I can get
4. Provide some degree of front end protection
5. Not be overly bulky or heavy - I won't be adding a winch to this one
That's it for now..More to come later

I saw a Subaru awhile back that had a bumper guard/skid plate combo that I thought was pretty awesome. Now that I have the renegade, I'd like to make something similar.
Something like these.

Something like those would look good on the renegade, I think.

yeah, I think any one of those would be awesome on the renegade.
I've been playing around with a couple designs.
I'm a High School Drafting and Woodshop Teacher. I always use CAD to help me visualize and design things. I've been using Rhino 3D.
My first Idea i wanted to do something like this:
Except I'd like to have a bar under the bottom of the bumper for protection.
Here's my first attempt:
I added a skid plate that goes underneath and attaches to the Trailhawk skid somehow.
The top hoop would go back in the space between the bumper and body. I haven't figured out all the mounting brackets yet. It's just a concept right now.
Here's another view:
What do you guys think?

I'm not sure where that first bumper pic went and I'm not sure how to edit my post, so I'll repost it.

This one shows kind of how it would look on the Renegade because I have backgrounds of renegades in a couple views.
