I mean that you said it cost $130 but then at the end you said it was free??

 

ah.. I see what I did. I meant Shop supplies were'nt free not the steel. lol

 

Oh, so you paid 130 for the steel and threw your boss 50 bucks for the gas and wire? That's cool.

 

Very nice fabbed front bumper........

 

Started working on rear bumper yesterday.
Found out previos owner welded the bumper brackets on

 

Since the original bolt holes had busted bolts in them.
I'd just weld new mounts on and just bolt the bumber to them.

 

This is as far as I got on Sat.
Maybe today I'll finnish it.

 

2 D-rings and a reciever.
Today reinforcement and do something with the corners

 

1 side pic.
All this work but I have yet to fix that pesky licence lamp that keeps falling out

 

I might as well throw up the pics of my dana 30 I overkilled with strenghening the axle tube and control arm brackets. It was mainly for the control arm brackets cause I've seen somebody wreck them before.

 

A few days ago. I bought a lock right from somebody on the sis forum. had to drive about a hour to get it. But was worth it.
Some people said I wouldint be able to drive on pavement. Thats bull and not true.
it dosint engage until one wheel slips.
if anything this locker made my jeep even more fun to wheel with!

 

Nice Fab work Dan, all looking very top notch!

 

sweet XJ ,DAN like the bumper builds looks good

 

here's how I did the diff cover. Got the tubes from plumbing section at Home Depot. So far it's holding up good against whatever I bang or scrape it on.

 

just reminder I switched the fill plug to take a 9/16 wrench since now you can't get a ratchet in there. and also theres a possibility of it interfering with the steering if it's out to far or up to high.
