i cant even count how many xj bumpers i have built! been doing this for 13 years now....on xj number 30.....vehicle number 60!! i have a little problem with commitment! j/k...i just like side money!!

thanks a bunch man......i really like this jeep!! a little taller than i'd like, but oh well right?

I looked up and down this thread and didnt find if you're 4-linking your 9" or just running leafs. You definitely have the skills and means to run coils in the rear.

Tell the people what they want to hear... aka 4-link man.

for now, i will be running leafs. im not made of cash man!!!!! i have owned this thing since march this year, and am already building it for the third time!! who does that?:wallbash: oh yeah, i do, a lot.

here is current state. started swapping axles yesterday.

should be wrapped up with the axles today......and i think i need 37s now:devil2:

so i havent updated in a while.

axles are awesome, and have wheeled a few times with only minor issues.


found out here i needed longer brake lines. they looked like banjo strings.

tinted my tail lights, turn signals, and side makers. have since sold both front bumpers and started a new one. rear is still for sale.

also added a set of black housing 8000k HID headlights.

exo cage coming soon.........

need to relocate my shackles. they bind up in the stock hangers. i will have 3 more inches of stuff in the rear when i fix this.

need tires soon. im not a fan of mtrs. gonna be looking in the 37-38'' flavor. prob iroks or swamper sx's.

I have a shop now, so havent got much time to work on my xj!!...just everyone elses!!

working on the killing machine today.


trying to finish up two front bumpers......making prototypes is fun. i get to get creative. hopefully one of them actually stays on my jeep!!:gunsmilie:

the killing machine is prob gonna be sold this weekend. watch for a new build to thread.

and for those of you about to say "no, dont sell it!", this is what i do.....:bangin:


i would like some feedback on this bumper, please. would you buy one?.......under radiator, low pro winch bumper coming soon. will look pretty much like this one, but with a fairlead on the front!! and your jeep will get a new "subframe".

To be honest, the front bumper isn't my style. I can appreciate the labor and skill involved but am not liking the tubing "end caps". Sorry....:sad:

(stinger off) and fairlead on, then I like it a lot.

dont be sorry...i asked for feedback. all feed back is appriciated.:gunsmilie:

thanks for you input!

I love it. It's what I was looking for, for Months and just settled on a straight bumper so I could mount my winch. Let me know what your think if your selling or making more.

pmed ya!! i built a few extras!!....this was technically a prototype.

killing machine has been replaced.:batman:
