I got a 90 amp flux. running $120 NEW! and its 1 1/2".

More pictures

 

decided to scrap this because its all out of wack...

back to the drawing board, this time with template

 

Were are you in Georgia? Im in Hinesville, GA. Maybe we can meet up one weekend and i can help you out.

 

Im in Savannah, have you made one before??

 

No but im a good welder. I was hopin this would be a good learnin experience for when i start mine this summer

 

What are you doing for unibody mounts?

Pics?

Where did it go out of whack?

 

A good place for bumper ideas, protofab.com also csloffroad.com, they sale a lot of bumpers

 

x2

thats kind of where im getting my design.

im not 100% on the mounting location yet... but i think im gonna use the aftermarket tow hook points inside those oval holes under the bumper cover.

 

from what ive seen on the bumpers that you can order they all mount up inside that location on my tube bumper i got from proto fab the mounting brackets where made so you didnt have to cut anything off but easier to just cut away the small portion closest to the center and tack weld some nuts on the brackets to do away with having to use two wrenches not very tool friendly inside to unibody frame

 

i attached a picture of the two front brackets
