Kind of an afterthought, but Daystar makes these inserts for the d rings that will keep them quiet when bouncing around. And you don't have to remove them when using the d rings. Just somethin to consider if the "dinging" bothers you

Nice bumper though

i will check out the d-ring isolators. thanks n20jeep.

primed with Duplicolor self etching primer.




painted with krylon satin black





still have to adjust it a bit......threw it on to run to a car show/cruise last night. you can see the first few bugs that lost thier lives to the bumper.

hope you guys like it! took about 10 hrs from start to finish. total cost was right around $150.

it my be a min before i start the back bumper. i want to wheel the xjuggy at some point this summer, so my attention needs to go to that for a while.

Now that is one smooth looking bumper!!! By any chance, you wouldn't have written down some measurements/blueprints that you could snap a picture of???
