nice, looks fairly stout, and cheaper than an aftermarket bumper. Very cool!

Looks good. Homebrew stuff is always awesome. Much better than seeing a bought not built brush guard on your XJ!!

i just got my angle where i wanted to bend, stuck it in a vise, heated it with a torch, and bent it real slow so it wouldn't crinkle. it did crinkle a little, but i just heated the bend back up and hammered it flat with a sledge.
