I think the front bumper needs some attention. It sticks out way too far for my liking... So I think I'll work on it a bit with my Bowie knife.  Almost there...  It'd be a shame to leave this behind...  Hmmmm - what to do, what to do...  Last edited by Fumbles; 10-30-2013 at 08:48 PM. |

Well, today turned out being "make a mondo heavy bumper day" instead of bumper and front stinger day... It's got to be made from steel and somehow make it rock solid when it mounts to the aluminum frame rails. It's also got to be able to withstand some punishment as the front bumper/stinger will be welded to it. Broke out the welder and fabricated boxes to fit over the frame rails - they fit nice and tight.   Almost too tight...  Now one for the other side.  Last edited by Fumbles; 10-31-2013 at 08:00 PM. |

Same thing for the grill guard now... UUURRHHHHGGGG !! A little twist here to get the corner correct...  And there you have it !!! I don't see what all the fuss is when it comes to tube/rod bending... simple if you ask me... (Not!)  Last edited by Fumbles; 11-01-2013 at 09:49 PM. |

Finished it up - well almost. I ran out of welding gas so I'll do the finishing touches once I get more ! Until then, I'm going hunting with my Bowie !  |

Tapped some holes in the metal bumper and the frame and then run a screw through it to hold it in place.  Now to seat the screw. Went with an M3 but could easily go to an M4 if need be...  |

Had to do a poser shot for the weekend... found some cool planks for crossing deep chasms ( Thanks Ikaika/Crawl Space!) still trying to decide where to put them but back of the roll bar seems good for now.   Last edited by Fumbles; 11-08-2013 at 07:47 PM. |

Started figuring out the wiring for the lights...  Still waiting to hear about a winch & fairlead from Tzi... also just waiting for my THE light controller to arrive so that I can start mocking up the lighting on the rig... Last edited by Fumbles; 11-15-2013 at 05:04 PM. |

Welded a metal plate on the bumper... wonder what that is for ???   Added a short extension to the guard to allow a rope to be quickly hooked onto it for towing reasons...  |
