Lookin' GOOD. This one's going in my "To be Built" Bumper folder!

 

looks pretty "bulletproof" (pun intended). I'm planning on making some almost just like that in the next week or two, but with a 2" receiver on the back. Looks pretty solid!

Hey!!!!! Can your truck come out and play with mine????

 

Looks great Mangler. That is really close to how I'm going to build mine.

When you come to the end of your road, get out and lock the hubs in . . .

 

That's all there is to it... I bet those would cost a bunch to buy.

 

Could you please post your plans?

What size of tube did you use? Did your bottom tabs lined up flush with the frame? When I measured mine it was between 4 and 5 inches so I couldn't decide what to go with.

'91 YJ,I-6,2.5" lift,Boomerangs,33s,D30,D35c,Lock-Rights F&R

 

Yep, they look pretty good. Your rear is very close to what I did on mine. I haven't put any shackle mounts on yet, as I'm still thinking about doing something a little different.
For you guys asking about dimensions I used 2x4 rectagular tube steel 3/16" wall and just cut it to length about 2-3" in from each side of the body and then cut a 45 degree angle on the ends. Since I have a 1" body lift I adjusted my mounting holes a little lower than normal to cover the body gap.

My front bumper is a little different I took some 3x3 square tube 1/4" wall and cut a notch in it to form a 15 degree bend on each end to sweep them back. These bends were made about 3-4" from the outside of the front frame rails. I left the the ends cut square and longer than I wanted and remarked and recut after I had mounted it to see exactly how long I wanted them. For mounting it I just cut down the original front bumper flush with the frame rails and then welded around the whole perimeter to the new bumper. I know this may not be as strong as making a new mount, but I'm going to make a winch plate to incorporate shackle/hook points, so it won't have to take any stress.

Hope you guys can visualize this, cause I don't have any pictures ready yet. The most important thing, I think, is to work like you would in wood, measure twice cut once. If you take it slow think of how you want it everything should be fine.

Not to osund like a COMPLETE idiot, but what kind of welder did you use? I'm looking at a MIG and am wondering if it would do something like this. I have used stick, but they lack in the control dept. and my gas welder is in another state.

Jeep...need I say more?

 

C'mon now, the only control problem with stick is the loose nut on the electrode/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif. It is all about knowing how to manipulate the weld puddle. Wire is easier, but the real key to welding is the puddle. If you want a good understanding of how the puddle acts; weld with a torch for a while.
