Default bumper in progress

never really seen many jeeps with prerunner styler bumpers, and thats mostly what im into, so im making one. this is it so far.
before

what i started with, cut it all off and brought it to the single base tube


chopping fenders even with marker lights




added some hella comet 550's. german made. hoo yea!



this is just the start. im going to build a short light bar onto the top of the bumper, add some supports, mount the hellas on top (which is why im keeping the bumper light bar short) and im going to add a light bar across the top of the windshield to mount four or five round hella 500's. soon more to come when i get cash to get some more dom tubing. also going to add a rear bumper.

That looks nice, maybe want to consider having the mounts tie in further back with more bolts?

Yea I'm going to machine some new mounts for it, have them go back and the supports are going to go further back on the unibody
