Saw an add on the local CL about some custom bumpers but there were no pics. Asked the guy to send me a few and these are what he sent me. Wanted $200 for the front and $350 for the rear. I almost puked when he finally sent me pics. What do you think?

Tie rod, drag link, the coil perches... They all look like they want to die. Then that tire carrier? I know the HF 10-ton pipe bender isn't a fan of going beyond 90, but you didn't even try to even it up. I would be so nervous being anywhere near that thing.

The design of the front bumper doesn't look bad but I can't see how the actual quality is. As far as the front d44 swap... well some things should be left to professionals or quality builders.. or anyone with common sense and can weld.

Seeing the back bumper makes me question the front. The design up front is mediocre at best, not really a fan of the stubby bumper UNLESS it's done right, and I don't like the fact there isn't a winch mount. Also, seeing the rest of the jeep makes me question the choices made by the builder, but without better pics of the bumpers, the welds, the mounting points, I reserve judgement to "NO" LOL

The most important part of any build is the colour, right?
