throw back

Pulled off the front bumper and winch plate to mount the steering cooler and decided to make a new bumper instead. Kind of a throw back to the bumpers I had in 92' on my 73' CJ5. Big 4" tube bumpers. woo hoo. I really like the effect of the parallel tubing. I haven't weighed the new bumper yet but I know it weighs less than the old one with the winch plate. probably around a 50 lb difference. Got some stuff to sell. Bullet Proof MFG front and rear bumpers are up for grabs. JKS disco's as well.

mocked up the idea I had my Evolution rRaptor made butter of the 3/4" steel.


I had to make it work with my current tow bar






I haven't decided on the grill hoop yet and gotta fab up the fairlead bracket, steering box skid and a stinger for the front.

Drivers side tie rod is gonna get flipped next.

Building a bunch of your own stuff for your Jeep makes the Jeep much more personal

I might high line the hood, just for kicks.

Looks good Mike. I like the hood hoop. I'd like to add one to mine.

I haven't said this about a dual tube bumper in a long time, but I like it.

bring over 80" of your choice DOM and I will gladly bend one while you wait. For some beer and pizza of course.

Thank you very much.
Sorry I did it but I can do it again

Ya mean that big black party bus
This building stuff is fun and addicting, especially when you have time and all the toy's to get it done.
Best part is to take it out after you are done for the time being and it performs beyond your expectations

I will take you up on that. After KOH. Thanks. I need a welding project. I may even do connecting bars from hoop to stinger, if you don't mind.
