Well i decide not to let this bumper kick my ass so i chopped some stuff off and made a new way to mount it. Its still along ways from being done but im pretty happy with it. I took a break from the front and started makeing the rear bumper but here is a teaser pic of the front bumper.

Let me know what you guys think good or bad

Hydro-Tank · 11-27-2010, 11:48 PM

I think it looks ok

. How did you attach it on the jeep? Grate rig

0lllllll0 · 12-01-2010, 12:15 AM

I think the front bumper looks great, just need to be cleaned up a little and painted and she will be awesome!

SO earlier on I saw how you mounted the front of the body to the cross member, which was absolutely brilliant and i might have to copy that for mine but I did not see how you mounted the rear of the body, sorry if I missed it but could you let me know how you mounted the rear.

Great build, I cant wait to get farther on mine!

then we can go try these spots out.

Thanks guys for all the compliments it def helps to get me motivated

So i guess ill go out in the garage and get some more work done on my rig ill have some pics up later tonight.

Thanks Guys

balln · 12-05-2010, 04:19 PM

More pics

Still have alot of cleaning up to do on these but there getting there

Still need to mount up a swing out tire carrier

And this is for you 0lllllll0 Any more questions feel free to ask i dont mind takeing any pics for you.

I just drilled out some hole in the rear of the interior and screwed some body post to it.

Kinda a bad pic but you can see the post and you can adjust the top pins for your ride height.

And again i just used a crossmember with two hole drilled through them and BAM you have it

Now i have to find some square stock or round not sure yet what i really want to use for the tire carrier.

Bananaclip · 12-05-2010, 04:52 PM

Coming together nicely!

Still have to play with them and adjust all 4 the tops need to be slanted to the bottoms instead of straight up and down.

What material did you use for your limiting straps. The actual straps themselves?

Thanks

balln · 02-01-2011, 09:16 PM

OK bit of an update

Rock sliders are a tight fit but look good.

Added some exhuast

Did the jk mirror trick with a rod end and they now fold in

Cant go wrong with Woody

Still have to install my RC4wd rod ends on my steering and add some stickers along with some other stuff but its finally getting there.
