Okay yea i know ive bent many chevy frame by pulling out with a similar tow point, now I only pull from a tow point that has been anchored to both rails in two places to distribute the pull

thanks for the answer anyway, btw great looking rig hope mine gets to be that way someday. i just found myself a comanche for $50! so that may become my dedicated wheeler

 

thats a pretty big list. glad your workin on it, sucks about choosing between the 2 things...atleast a jeep will never get pissed at you.

 

mine has , she started acting up the other day and i smacked her around a little until she started acting right again lol

 

haha. atleast nothing you cant fix with a little wrench time.

 

haha yeah, but usually if i go in with a wrench i leave her with a couple more dents and more problems than i began with

 

small pic but had a great view tonite. fooking IOWA, stupid tornados

 

WOW, i would have shat my pants

 

you said at one point you might be making bumpers and selling them...could you make one to accept a winch and how much would you be wanting for one like that? im thinking in a while i will want one

 

im guna be tring to make some for sale this winter, work is really busy in summer and falll for me. winter i dont work, so need to supplement some how

FrankZ makes a pretty nice bumper at a fair price if you want one sooner

 

nah, im not looking for real soon...but i will have to check them out...right now my main goals are getting it lifted (have a 3 inch rustys sitting around) and getting my new wheels on...and getting some bigger tires...after that ill be bumping up to proabably 4 or 4.5 inch...not quite sure yet becuase i want to go for the T&T long arm lift kit...i like how it has more clearance then the RC kit...the mounts for the long arms are level with the frame, not below the frame an inch or two...so that way i can run about a 4 inch lift and still have insane flex from them, and ill be getting some interco traxus 31x10.5... first comes the lift wheels and tires...then save for a little bit and get the long arm...ill start a build thread when i get the lift on... then its a toss up between bumper/winch or new rear and lockers...im leaning towards front locker, new rear with a locker in that too... but now that ive polluted your build thread...im starting to think this shoulda been a PM

 

this thread is long and retarded. dont realy care any more. The only advice i have is buy a welder, learn how to use it, and do some research. this jeep is a prime example of a normal guy building stuff you can buy for a heck of a lot less.

next jeep i hope is up there on the o **** list, this one anyone with 1000-1500$ can do this jeep

 

yea im deffiniatly buying a welder...but im not exactly good at metal working....and i dont have my own garage, i godda use a family members or my friends...so its kinda tough to just sit and play around... i also know that if i build a bumper it wont be nearly as nice as if i were to buy one, and i know its a waste of money in the functionality of it, but im going for a nice jeep too...this jeep was in my family since it was new, and the person who gave it to me passed in march, so im trying to do everything perfect and nice because im not gonna ever get rid of it...unless a bad accident happens...knock on wood....

 

nice thing when you buy a welder (recomend classes) is you first bumper is just 1.0. there can be 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 .............. make the way you want it. you can try as much as you want till its right.

mine turned out well but it under went 3 different changes during build.

i honestly dont like mine any more and am going to make a better one. but hey thats how it goes

 

hahahahahahahaha i just did after reading that

 

ok. well ill see how it goes. i have alot of stuff i want to buy/build and i still have to sign up for my fall class...still going to college part time...so ill be busy. thanks for the help and cant wait to see how your next project turns out
