Just got some stock in for the bumper project. Got an idea, it's either gonna be really cool or really stupid. I'll let y'all decide when it's finished hope to start on it in the next couple of days.

 

Hmm.. Enter curiosity.. Looking forward to what this becomes.

 

Just scored this big ole chunk of steel for free! Looks like a receiver mount winch plate is in my near future.

 

Got her stripped down for the bumper bout to start melting metal.

 

Got it bent and brackets tacked. First test fit.

 

It's starting to look like a bumper!

 

Damn. Nice lookin bumper. Gonna be indestructible!

 

All welding besides the brush guard is finished! Got an *** load of grinding to do, test fit it on the Heep again to decide how I want the hoops to look, burn em in, then prep and paint.

 

Thanks man. Couldn't be happier with the kit. 100% pure beef!

 

Bumper ground and brush guard tacked in place. I'm rockin the stiff leg something fierce!

 

Sweet! Now when you gonna trim the fenders!?

 

Not yet. I still want to keep the body as stock looking as possible. I'm going to trim the inside of the fender flares and cut-n-fold the pinch seam in the fender wells. I have a narrow offset wheel, so the tires already tuck pretty nice. Removing the inner fender well gave me lots more room. If trimming the flares doesn't do the trick Ill break out the sawz-all. Wish I could find replacement flares that looked just like factory but just a lil bit bigger. I looked into the TJ flares but I just cant dig em for some reason.

 

Got the first coat of paint on.

 

The jeeps coming along nicely. Have you had much of a chance to wheel it yet?

 

Yeah but mostly mild to moderate rock and trail rides, and urban wheeling on every potential obstacle I come across. I've haven't got too serious due to the lack of front recovery points. Only put it in semi-deep mud once since the lift and will never do it again. You got a build thread?
