I picked up this beauty in stock form from the local junkyard for $12, I believe. When I held it in place on my XJ, it seemed like was going to have steering clearance issues and I thought it looked really plain anyways. So, I broke out a Sharpie and my plasma cutter.....this is what happened....

I have a few more tricks up my sleeve to beef this thing up a bit...update you later....

 

Bring the bandaids with you on the trail cause those things look super sharp. Hope you don't need to do any repairs or you'll be pulling that baby off. Flames cut out would have been cool, painted it red, orange and white to look realistic. I've been watching too much Overhaulin'. lol!

 

Wish i had a plasma cutter... Looks sweet man

 

They aren't too sharp. I'm gonna knock down the edges a little to be safe. I'm working on a "quick disconnect" setup for it to so wrenching on a trail won't be an issue.

 

Money well spent. Its probably my favorite or at least my funnest tool. Thus took me about five minutes to cut. That's the beauty of a plasma cutter. It took me longer to sketch out than cut it.

 

Cool! I'd like to see that set up. At least you're luck enough to have the fun tools.

 

Some more welding madness....Yeah, I know I'm going to get it from the purists..."function over form" or whatever. Hey, I like my rig to look p@ssed off when I'm breaking things...

 

Now that's pretty sharp lookin' (no pun intended haha)
I have to say you're pretty creative and your fab skills far exceed mine so kudos to you.
Forget all that function or form crap. Just tell people your Jeep functions just fine on the trails.
Or just tell them it's the Bat-shield.

 

Yep....still serves it's purpose just fine. Now it just looks mean as hell while doing so..

And I know my welds aren't that pretty but I'm not a welder.

 

 

is right!!! Ha! Now back to the Bat-Cave......

 

damn nice bro... i feel bad for the person u hit walkin across the street lol

 

even more so when he tries to back up after hitting them... OP nice job, i dig it, being a required BATMAN fan per my lastname i like even more

 

it's the ultimate knuckle buster. careful under ther- *screams* lost a finger. lol.

 

reminds me of those razor features guys put on the their choppers/cruisers. Dumb.
