is it done?

im trying to think of how to put this without sounding like a and starting a

the tire looks like its sitting way to high

your "hinge" could be cut down some

also looks like your "hinge" will rip right off of the bumper.

for now its done, the hinge is kinda weak so im gonna address that next weekend, and im def thinkin bout lowering the tire but i think that might cause clearance issues with the hatch, and im gonna cut the hinge down im just kinda takin it a bit at a time, but for this weekend i think this is all im gonna do so that way i can see how it rides this coming week and make the required adjustments and improvements

no hard feelings either, im always open for suggestions and ideas

I used a Dana44 hub and spindle from a Ford as my hinge. It replaced a 1000# trailer spindle style hinge that sheared in half after a few years.

when or if this one fail which im betting it will eventually but i dont off road that much yet anyways im gonna end up gettin a piece of 2inch solid round stock and use that for my hinge

Seam sealer will make the welds look a little more apealing. Good job though.

i like the vice in the trailer hitch. thats an awesome idea

yeah i love it as you can see i have my fab shop outside the front of my apartment and have to pack it up every time im done and i knew i was gonna be workin with steel when i bought the jeep so the guy that did my front bumper made that up for me, but harbor freight sells them but i could prolly make you one up if you wanted for like 15 bucks and you pay shipping

nice Job.

One question, What is that BIG lego looking thing in your roof rack? hahaha

lmao thats my army issue water jug. hows your tow points holding up?

If I get stationed at Drum you and I are going to be getting together. ALOT.

Holding up great, thanks. I have got to use them a few times. pulled out a bronco from some thick slop.

I have received some good feedback on them from some guys that have built their own tubed out buggies. No one thought that I would need and support tying them both together.

good job man i am going to sears tomm. to return a torque,and just might come back with a mig welder.

Hey how do you like your welder? I had that same one but mine did bout like to weld the thicker metal at all
