Default AutoCad 2010 Xj drawing and offroad bumper

I drew this up on ACAD last night. I made the bumper before the dimensionally accurate front clip. So i am aware it is too small to fit. I will be making a drawing of the bumper that is to the correct dimension. Tell me what you think of the drawings. Thanks, Andy

They look real nice would like to see one with a longer stinger, justa tad taller than the hood line so you can see the end of the bumper.

Well the bumper is not the right size. It was drawn before the front end. So now it will be used as a reference and the new bumper will be designed right on the front end of the drawing. Once i get it finished I'll post some more pics. of it on the front end and detached. Im also doing overhead, underside and side views.

I like it. I think txhotrod has a good point. I think if you rounded the bar more and made it just over the hood that would be sweet. but then again i like it that way to. Its kinda like a toss up. But I do like it

Sweet. I like keeping things square. Sense the jeep is it just looks better. Just don't put round lights on it.

Here's a pic of the bumper mounted and by itself. This is the same bumper before scaled using a reference. Thanks for the suggestion Homer. Im no CAD expert by the way. 1 summer school class at the local comunity college.
