Should turn out good.

 

I sure hope so! Check back this weekend, I plan on being finished on Sunday!

 

Alright I will for sure

 

Can't wait to see the finished product, I plan on trying to get mine done this weekend too.

 

good looking bumper. you got skilz!!

 

Haha thanks! Check back on it soon I plan on finishing this weekend if my parts come

 

Nice! Do u have a build thread on the forum? I'm interested to see yours of u have any done!

 

Yup, build thread is in my sig. thats where i have been putting everything.

 

really impressive fab work! cant wait to see how it turns out

 

Do you have plans/drawings for the bumper?

 

Yes, a build or plans, something would be so cool! That is the nicest XJ bumper I have ever seen. I need to copy it one day when I learn how to weld. I have a book on welding now and have been teaching myself Turbocad and started a bumper project. It's going slow.

How much did the metal cost (just the metal, no latches) and where did you buy it? A steel yard or something?

 

I can try to draw up a sketch with measurements this weekend!

 

Hey thanks for the comment! I will try to get a drawing with measurements this weekend. Welding definetly is something that takes time to learn. Read up and then make the investment and just start playing around and have fun. We have a small wire feed welder from home depot which runs gas less flux cored wire. It works great for building bumpers! I am in a welding course at school. Total cost for that last pic there was about 80 bucks not including welding wire. However building my tire swing cost another 140. Here in Denver we have a large steel supplier open to the public.

 

Cad is also a great way to go. I've had 2 years working with solid works. I wish i had it on my own computer!

 

Good news. I got my new tire swing parts and I'm all ready to start building tomorrow, I hope to be finished on Sunday!
