Its hard to find anything thats rust free. I found a set of doors but I am going to make a new door bottom first. When I find a complete 97+ truck, I am going to ****** it and swap everything over. I want the recessed grill for my paint scheme.

At first I kind of found this to be iffy but im glad I took the time to go through the whole build so far. I'm really liking this and cant wait to see some more updates on it, some awesome fab skills and work done here.

 

looks good!

 

Alrighty. Do you all remember that bumper I had picked up a while back?

Well **** has hit the fan with my housing situation, so basically I have no idea when our landlord will get her house foreclosed upon (and it will happen) and we will lose our lease. So I am doing as much "fab" work as I can so if I have to move again, at least all the big stuff will be finished.

So I shaped the bumper and fabbed up the mounts today after work.

I started by centering it, taking 57 measurements as I to make sure the horns were centered and they weren't centered on the Jeep grill AND the bumper (if that makes sense). So I cut 4.5" from centre off the passenger side, and 2.5" from center off the drivers.



Then just using 1x3x.125 tubing, I cut, bent and welded it up. I also used some tabs left from my shock mounts that were already drilled and perfect for it. They are 1/4" plate.



Welded them up.





A matching pair.





The mounts bolt to the frame and will be welded to the original brackets on the back of the bumper.

 

Your fab Skillz are truly second to none give your self a pat on the back

 

The bumper is looking great dude!

 

good lord that bumper is going to be sick!!!

 

subscribed! what do you do for a living?

 

I'm in love, next to my Cherokee. Nice work!

 

badass

 

Thanks for the support guys! I am a line cook and I am getting my AZ license shortly.

I am really happy with the way the bumper turned out.
