Default Starting another front bumper

Just started making a front bumper for my sons XJ, rear will be next. I made a set on my previous XJ that turned out well. I sold my XJ a while back and been tinkering on my old mopar, needs a lot of work and about as much money lol, but will get it done in a few years. Doing the work myself saves some money plus I enjoy it.

Anyways, my son and I cut out the bumper mounts with my plasma cutter out of 1/4 inch and if I get some time today will get started on the actual bumper. Doing this fairly cheap as I came across some steel that was left over from a job site at the hospital so that makes it even better.

Not in the garage right now to get measurements but all I did for the template was got some thick paper and trimmed it out in the shape I wanted then measured the holes and transferred that all over to a piece of masonite for a guide for my plasma cutter.

Now that I have a set made I could make some for anyone that wants a set for say 30 bucks plus shipping if anyones interested?

Did some price checking and looks like USPS is cheapest to ship them in a flat rate box. Can ship anywhere in the lower 48s, 50 bucks total.

If anyone wants a set let me know.

thanks

EDIT: I made a post in the for sale section if anyones interested its here
