Here is the first one I built for my first XJ


then I got a ZJ and went tube, this one was set up to mount a winch


Then I went similar on my last XJ

You make cool bumpers.

So in a related question and since I'm going to have to build a new gas tank skid anyway due to the large hole punched in mine... Has anyone ever incorporated the GT skid into their bumper? I'm thinking that if I build the skid and instead of bringing it up to meet the bottom/rear of the Jeep, what if I allowed it to run straight back and join the bumper to act as a long skid? Hard to describe but in essence it would bolt to the bottom of the bumper (for removal of either) with counter sunk fasteners and create a long, angled piece of armor to slide on as I egress an obstacle. Make any sense? lol! Throw me your thoughts and ideas please.

That is an awesome idea!! you should gprs for it and let us know how it goes!

I see what you mean, but with good welds it should be fine.

For instance, I've had one of these


Welded on the top of the front bucket of this


For years without being able to break it. It's skidded a billion trees, It's even held up to "******" pulls with a cable hooked to a dozer.

The red d rings are inside a 3" by 4" piece of metal turned at an angle capped and welded with a hole drilled through

Oh and the pins are 1/2" stainless steel

Here's my bumper, stil a WIP at he moment, need to add the tire swing and so on, this ones 6mm plate and 20mm recovery plate...

my scrapers im working on. everythings came out of our work metel dumpster. got about $30 of paint and bolts in them. left rear alittle wide to do cut/fold on 1/4panels and front will have some added latter. atleast i can go fishin in the boat now. light bar is a cut down rear tahoe swaybar i had.

Some pretty sexy bumpers here.

Jeep dreamer, check this guys gas skid/rear bumper! might give ya an idea

I like it, looks very clean

Thanks man

Thanks man...Yeah, I guess that's pretty much what I was kinda thinkin' about? Won't get back to the Jeep until next weekend so still plenty of time to brainstorm.

sexy bumper man!
