Bumper looks good. Can't wait to see how the rear bumper and sliders turn out.

 

That front bumper looks awsome! and so does your Jeep

 

i like it. nice work. its looks heavy

 

It does look a lot heavier than it really is, 50-60lbs probably, if i were to guess.

 

Awesome fab skills.....Nice project thread...

 

Just curious, why a dropped pitman?? Did you relocate one of the track bar mounts??

 

No, trackbar mount is the same, but i did put on a knuckle to knuckle tie rod, and aftermarket drag link, which made the angles pretty far off from the track bar, so the drop pitman lined the drag link back up with the track bar. Keeps the bump steer gremlin from showing up.

 

thats not to bad. i was going with a bumper like that but i wanted something oddly different

 

OK, now it makes sense, thanks!!

 

Well, maybe it'll cool down soon, and things will slow down at work so I can get back on the XJ. I've accumulated some metal for the sliders and rear bumper, the build progress will be posted in my bumper build thread for the rear bumper, the slider progress I'll update here, since its not a bumper i suppose.

 

Brad M. I loved the link to,"alternative, swapping out your XJ knuckles and going to WJ" Holy Cow, Man that is awesome

 

I appologize for not taking pictures of the progress of the build, but here are some pics that are of the rear bumper i fabbed up...almost done.

 

Everything has been on pause for a while, but now I'm back working on the XJ. New Years resolution: Get this thing done by summer!

Just another bumper pic, got the fenders cut and flares cut and fitted, had to add to the bumper to extend under the flares, looks good I think.

 

Very nice sir

 

interior pics....have you bedlined?
