Hey guys. Got myself a bender a while back and this is my first project! All 1.5" hot rolled. The winch area will stick out about 8" from the middle of the grill. Here's what i got done tonight. Tomorrow I will put the mounts on and fit the main tube. Then bend the stinger up

The gauge plate in the last pic was not in place, was just messing around with that one. I have it perfectly dialed in now

 

what bender is that?

looking good

 

I found it on Craigslist. I think he said it was a kit a private vender was making on pirate4x4

 

Gottrikes.

 

Brand name is Tubetek

 

Where is your new build thread for the new XJ?!?!? You still have the old link in your sig!

 

I need to change that!! Here! https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/my...-95-xj-147208/

 

Finally built this damn thing!! Need to throw the tow hooks back on and get a winch

 

Decided not to do the stinger yet. Might add it later. I just had to get paint on it because it was rusting

 

just a question, have u actually crushed a Nissan with that bumper?

 

In my old jeep I hit a Nissan going about 45

 

Haha same dude, mine took it a little better than urs though lol only got a crack in the header panel and some scrapped bed liner

 

Mine was gnarly. Drove the driveshaft into the tcase. Cracked it open and the transmission. And the entire unibody had huge wrinkles
