Do you mean the round tubing undernieth? im cheap and instead of buying metal i use what i have. just so happened i had some 2x4 3/16s. i started build and soon relized it looked retarded small. i cut the sides at an angle, flipped the cutoof piece around and re welded it. threw the tube in as filler

mounting brackes are 1/4 with some 1/4 45 degree gusetry. right now i have the factory tow hook plates modified to except 1/2 grade 8 hard ware. so it ties back into the unibody using the stock hook plates. I didnt tie all the way back with the bumper because eventually i am going to plate entire unibody rails with 3/16s. I think the three 1/2 grade 8 bolts will work for now.

 

i think it looks f'ing sick with the tube i might copy that

 

looks kinda like a robot with the lights mounted

 

I like the tube work on the top of the bumper as well. I think it looks better with the cut and welded sharp bends then the rounded bends from a tube bender. The sharp bends seem to fit the XJ a little better.

Nice work.

 

im cant afford a tubing bender at this point so i work with what i got. chop saw, 4in grinder, and a welder

 

got her on today. not to bad for a proto-type. will try to get a few better ones up later

 

went out and got better picture

 

sign me up for your next one! that is a bad*** piece of metal

 

i like it how much for you to make me one

 

Sick bumper! But what ya gonna do bout front license plate? I'm assuming you have to have one in the state you live in...might I suggest building a removable bracket for your receiver for it?
