i dont think you need that strong of a bumper, unless your doing some serious towing haha

 

yeah your right i dont even do serios wheeling
tomorrow i´ll start cutting again

 

haha. good luck man. how many cutting wheels have you gone through so far?

 

well you wont believe, just 2... and 1 broken (was almost new)
not so much i though at least 10. but still have to cut so much and the rear bumper to

 

damn...I thought you were gonna say 2000....What kind of blades are you using? I know friction cutting discs wouldn't last that long cutting through that thick steel.

Can you take a pic of how that mounting bracket gets in the way of the sway bar?

I love my bumper, the whole body is 3/16" plate with 2 3/16" gussets in side, the body mounts are 3/8" plate and the d-ring tabs are 2 pieces of 1/2" plate welded together making them a 1" plate.

 

just 2? well, 3...

thats still alot of cutting.

 

here you can see were the sway bar hits the bolt. the problem is going to be the other side, the bot is at the same place BUT IT HOLDS THE STEERING BOX.

so your brackets are 1/16? i think it is enough for holding a winch bumper right?? (really considering doing another bumper) haha

well i used a very thin cutting wheel for stainless steel, i bought them for $2 each in home depot. they are the sht.

 

ok. i think i know what your talking about. i usually use those wheels for exhaust work...cut faster through stuff.

 

My brackets 1/16"??? Where did you get that from? My brackets to the body are 3/8" plate. I wouldn't go smaller than 1/4" for the body brackets on a bumper.

My sway bar doesn't hit any bolts at all, so I don't know what's going on with your jeep....

I might have to get some of those discs


And that bracket thing where the fender bolts to the frame...I just bent mine out of the way

 

they really work great and are cheap.

Sure they are 3/8 i dont know what i was thinking
the sway bar hits the head bolt, maybe because of the 1/2plate + the head bolt, (but that is going to disapear soon hehe)

do you mean the header pannel bracket??? the one of the pic? i want to take that cut off that, i think is uselesssss.

 

Yeah haha, I'm gonna cut mine off to when I get the chance.

more pics more pics more pics more pics!!!!!
