srry to hear that, when will you be off?

 

That suck s man you are not going to make it

 

As soon as the deck we are building is done...... Probably 4or5

 

Boo

 

OK SO...... Im in the process of building my front bumper as I type this (hoping it will be done by tomorrow afternoon) BUT.. what do you guys think, should I make it removeable or just weld the brackets to the unibody (probably be stronger this way, and a lot easier for me to build)

 

seems kind of pointless to me if your going through all that trouble and then not having the bumper be very strong....my prerunner bumper was welded straight to the frame of 99 ford and that thing was STRONG. i was thinking of making it removable but then it just loses a lot of its strength.
are you mounting a winch to it?

 

yes mounting a winch to it, well kinda, its going to be mounted to a winch plate and the rest of the bumper is going to be built around that

 

I think welded or bolted your not going to be looking at that big of a strength difference really. I opted for bolt on in case I change my mind on bumper style and decide to go a different direction, or need to remove it for other repairs etc. Just my $.02.

 

That sucks to hear.

 

I dont know what other repairs I will have to do where I would need to remove it, I think I will just weld it cause I broke 3 of the 4 bolts off on the towhook brackets and those are a part of what it was going to be bolted to, so fk it lol

 

make it so it comes off you dont wan't to be stuck with the same bumper,and in all reality i would rather have a grade 8 bolt break than my unibody tear.

 

too late, its getting welded on, it will be sweet, I just hope I can have it done tomorrow, I have no Idea where to put the charcoal canister, it was kinda haning behind the stock bumper and now there is no where for it to go... hmmmmmm

 

Woo hoo jeep is running and driving trans works great other than I lost the bolts to bolt down the timing sensor on the trans anyone know what size they are so I can run to home depot and buy some

 

Are you sure your not looking at the vaccum reserve canister Sean? On the XJ it hides behind the bumper.

 

re rout it inside your motor thats what i did
