I appreciate all the great comments everyone. I wish it had gone faster but between the winter weather and work, well what can I say.

I have decided to go ahead and make some front tie in brackets to help add some extra strength to the Jeep frame. Hope to get started painting it this weekend.

 

Holy cow thats awesome, looks a lot like mine

 

Yes it does. Yours looks good too.

 

Well I managed to get the bumper primed last weekend. Hope to have it painted and installed this weekend, fingers crossed.

The end! (except for mounting the off road lights)

Now it's time to fabricate a rear bumper and some rock sliders

 

That looks great! cant wait to see what elso you come up with.

 

Thanks. I don't know what the deal is with that first picture looking at the bumper straight on. There is some kind of shadow illusion making the skirt look wavy or out of wack but it is not.

 

Looks great!

 

I think I'm going to try to make that.

 

Thanks. Yeah, it is pretty easy as far as materials are concerned. The front main part is just 3x5 angle, .25 thick.

Cut the angles you want, add some end pieces and caps, bottom skirt and there you have it.

I think I am going to make another one and try and sell it on craigslist to make some extra money.

 

looks nice! the "hammered" always adds a little somethin to it!
