Poison Spyder Bumper... ON an XJ?
I have always like poison spyder customs bumpers and parts made for the wranglers. So I decided to pick one up and put it on my xj.
It turned into more of a project then I was expecting... but I think its going to turn out nice! The bumper is made for the tj. The bumper mounts Directly to the tj frame. With the uni****body on the xj... this is where it gets interesting. Pictures to come. |
No interests... tough crowd. Pictures!
I cut the end of my uni-body off. And added some 2x4" rectangular tubing that I welded to my JCR off-road frame stiffeners. They are bolted on right now but I plan on welding them soon. I still need to gusset the new bumper mounts/cross-member and I need to add ends under the grill stretching out to each body end. Here are some pictures of my cross-member and the bumper mounted. It only took about 5 hours. But I was by myself. http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7704/0921101406.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/6980/0921101447.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5476/0921101821.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

ya i love the poison spyder logo i wouldnt miss it. lol. dude the bumper looks SWEET. the only think "I" would do is put something to 45 it up. just so its flush. im not a big fan of things that stick out and have hard corners but thats just me. i think it looks SICK but thats what i would do just to make it look "cleaner"

NO problem here... I'll take all the observasions possible. I think it may be a touch low. The way the bumper is bult that is the highest I could mount it without having a winch installed on it. If I would have had a winch to test fit everything it would have made life easyer. I plan to cut into my grill and mount it farther back... but that wont happen until I can get a winch on there! SO I'm going to stick with it and see if it drags or is even an issue. Thanks! |

Then I will build a simple plain jane rear bumper. I also am cuting and welding on my rear abortion of a factory bar pin setup to install my new fox shocks. Pictures and a new thread to come with that. |
