decided to play in shop today. tring to make a bumper that i can easily reproduce.
brackets are from ajs off road 1/4in
everything else is 3/16
didnt really have a plan just kinda started with cardboard and when i couldnt weld it together i just started building on the fly. this is what i got so far.
opinions?

so far looks good. make some little places to put fog lights under each headlight. not like a cut out, just a little indentation like under the bumper. that woudl be pretty cool. also looks like it will handle a winch?

o just got back from work about 8ish. it sucks working 10hrs then driving 3hrs home. I have to repo 2morrow for some extra cash and i got a customers jeep taking up my shop right now. Some one charged him like $800 to lift it 5ins. The rear is an s10 helper leaf and 2 2in blocks stacked on each other. the front is a rc 3in spring with a 2in puck on BOTTOM and stock control arms.
Im bringing him back down to 3.5 in front and 4in in back, putting in 4 new u joints, re welding his front seat brackets back together and a few other no no on his jeep. hope to have it done by sunday so i can have my shop back for mine
next on my agend is try to get some more black on her, and finsh the front tube flares.
I really need to figure out how to make some extra dough so i can take her further. I have built almost everything i can think of that doesnt require any money. I got a plan for some rear ubes (u-bolt eliminators) but there is no point starting them until i get an 8.8, and guess what, they cost money. even when i get the 8.8 im guna need a sye to install it or i will have to redue later.
If you have an suggestions on something you want me to make/try to make. throw them out. I am running short on time these days but should be working back in town in the next week or 2 so i will be home and can hopefuly get some **** done

Not gonna lie this is probably one of my favorite threads. I might be "borrowing" a few ideas if you don't mind. Were having one major problem with our toy and that is flex. The axle just wont flex, the whole jeep goes with the angle, we just added a 3inch lift from rough country with the new coil springs up front, took the sway bar off. Any ideas how to help with flex? Thanks
