Good news.i hope it shows up.

 

Real real good lookin' welds man. Interested to see how the bumper turns out, definitely sturdy construction.

 

Got my D-ring shackles and tire carrier spindle from AtoZ fab. Haven't gotten much else done with the bumper but I'll do some more tomorrow morning.



Also when I got in my little wreck, maybe 9 months ago, I had to replace my front axle. I dumped my old axle at my high school in December and no one ever took it or dumped it lol so I went back tonight and grabbed it and brought it back. It's going to be my mock up for my next big mod. WJ knuckles.

 

Got my shackles welded on. Completely overbuilt them but I'd rather that then they rip off

 

Nice. I'm glad you didn't just butt weld them to the bumper, being through welded on multiple plains is mo better. I gave up on WJ swap, can't wait to see yours.

 

Why'd you give up? Seems pretty straight forward. My hubs, ball joints, and steering is all bad so it's the same price to do the swap as it is to say do a IRO one ton kit

 

I didn't want to polish my 30 that much if I'm just gonna go one tons. I was gonna do ruffstuff steering and track bar and all that jazz.

 

Haha nice I did the same. Used 1x3 sleel rounded out, and welded it through my bumper

 

I really wanted to do 44/9 but it's going to be my DD (fingers crossed) for the next 4 years. Might as well build my 30 for the time being.





Very nice. I just bought mine pre made and my god one inch is thick lol

 

I got a 18 foot stick of it for free

 

Quarter cut and fold? Suuure

 

Much better!

 

I still need to do the drivers side but it was easy. Now I can finish off the wings of my bumper and have supports under the quarter

 

I might weld my wings to the sheet metal of the rear quarter. Only reason I wouldn't is if i stretched it.

 

I'm actually thinking about building tube fenders that weld into my rear bumper, then 2x6 sliders then my front bumper for almost like a small cage
