I can't picture how the rear goes together.

I checkEd mounting width after bending.. it was spot on

 

That's an awesome price point. I like it. There're some pics of the rear bumper in the reviews at the bottom. Looks pretty standard. Only uses the factory bumper mount locations, but could be modified easy enough.

 

I wad at the candy store today. 6" x1/4 ,plate


Yes price point is sweet. Wis theyd sale just the winch box for 75

 

Mine has held up great for a couple years.

 

Sweet. And nice jeep

 

From a fabrication and welding standpoint, I trust my welding to the point it'll look fine after I grind it down and paint it, but the structural integrity part is what I'm a little worried about. I would practice for a day or 2 and get used to my welder again (only used it about 6 times to make very small 3-4" welds) so I dont know how it would hold up if I added the winch or hit a tree, etc....
What is the part of the bumper that has to be welded really good? Obviously the clevis hangers and attach point where it bolts to the frame, but anything else? I would totally weld the entire thing myself, inside and out but I just wanna be sure it'll be good after I get done with it, and not crack for no reason, or even crack after I hit a tree (knock on wood)

 

Burn all the inside then I cut whatever tacks I had on the outside open corners. Turn heat and wire down slightly.



all welds are critical and none are ever good enough. Practice never makes perfect it makes better.
im working on long runs. The spot on the bottom corner is I think a pocket because I fell asleep had to much stick out got a porosity bubble. Thats a 14" run. Thats a long run for me. Hard most my burns are 6" or less

 

I wish they have non-winch front bumper with a 2" hitch with 2 D ring tow point. Otherwise I will consider JCR DIY kit.

I have used drings but think clevis mounts sunk through the bumper are stronger

Did the kit you got come with the tubes, or did you add those on later?

 

I added the tubes, you can get them from Dirt Bound offroad.

 

Any chance you guys that have bought one can tell me what the shipping weight was and what the packaging looked like? I asked the seller on eBay but they were no help. I'm in alaska so they won't ship here, but can have a buddy who's in the lower 48 fly it back with him commercial if it's not too heavy/reasonably packaged.

 

I think it was 49 lbs 18"x3' x 1.5ish thick
