    Looks good! The notching anf bending creates a cleaner bend then a tube bender would. Cleaner as in no tube distortion.

    Cuts were done with a cold saw, but an abraisive saw would have been OK. There were a couple of "bastard miters" or compound angles cut that I cheated with a plasma torch. Lots and lots of grinding, then a once over with a sanding disc. Those are not shackle mounts,they're just for trailer safety chains. I've got a reciver type shackle mount for the center.

    Very cool! What did you use to make the bevel cuts? The ground welds look very smooth. I personally like the box tube look!

    Did the shackle mounts go all the way through the box tube?

    started a topic Square tube bumpers.

    Square tube bumpers.

    I finally finished the square tube bumper for Sully's CJ and I'm going to do my other son's yellow TJ next. I modeled it after the my TJ "Four Real" rear which is actually made by daystar.

    It was a lot of work as I didnt have a tube bender, so cut, grind bevels, weld and lots of grinding to smooth. I also used heavy wall tubing 3/16.

    I cut all the parts and tacked up a few more blanks which will fit any jeep. I dont know how anyone can make a living doing this ,way too much labor involved.
