To each his own, I take pride in knowing I made it, and with 40+ years experience in the automotive/ motorcycle industry, I am a professional ! I was just putting out there.

 

Well, let’s see what a “professional” bumper looks like. Post a pic of yours

 

Haven't built it yet , But when I do I'll post it. I owned a body shop for 25+ years a bumper isn't a big deal.

 

For me, I probably could build a bumper, but by the time I would've bought supplies and spent time on it it was better to just buy a prefabricated bumper. Not to mention the fact that the bumpers I purchased are press broke 3/16 plate which I could not do myself even if I wanted. There are things I'll build myself, but there are things that are already out there proven to work so I spend a little more and go with them.

 

That's fine, I do have access to Breaks English hammers , Rollers etc.and being retired I'm on a limited budget, I seen those fab kits and thought others might be interested. personally I'll dig through my brothers and cousins scrap piles and find the rest of what I need, And that's a real nice looking bumper on your rig ,I really like the looks of that angled roller lead, how's that working out any scraping or binding or anything, Matter of fact that's a nice looking XJ ,
