i have build at least 15 xj bumpers.....and this is my first zj bumper. man was it way harder on the zj!!!!


i wanted to open a fab shop until i worked at one. i lost all motivation to work on my own rig. it became work, and not a hobby. now im an electrician and look forward to coming home and workin on the jeeps....

i do build bumpers, sliders, cages, and everything else on the side though.....how else do you think i paid to build my xj?
