]I started working on my front bumber. Got about 6 hours into it so far and still not done.
But at least now it's on and I don't need to take it off again. :D

And then today 1 week later did my frame brackets and spent $200 bucks on a new gear box because the bolts holding it in broke :cursing: And did some reinforcing. I made sure to use antiseize on the new gear box bolts to. :grin:

Like I said. it's not finnished yet but looking good and strong. Still gotta fill in the corners and deciding on how to mount a winch. behind it and just have a fairlead with a hook sticking out of the middle or just build a mount on the outside..

looks really good!

what gauge steel is that? i hope it is atleast 3/16" thick....

JeepingDan 07-03-2010 07:16 PM
Yup 3/16. I went with that because I wanna keep it light. But I was thinking if it's put together right then it shouldint go anyware.

96_xj 07-03-2010 07:20 PM
Great work. I like it

offroadnut36 07-03-2010 07:20 PM
Nice bumper. I went with 3/16" on mine too. I don't expect it to go anywhere anytime soon :D OH and nice helmet :D

Great work tho. I like it

Just checked 96xj's Bumper. Looks really really good man. I don't think u can buy anything better than a home fabbed bumper. That piece of steel cost $130 5X4. shop supplies still pending on another bill.

96_xj 07-03-2010 07:56 PM
THat seems really expensive... Altho i have not bought new steel in a long time.... I love the scrap "bins" at the steel yard. $0.30 a pound for whatever is in the area of the yard
