How far back on the frame did you take the mounting brackets?

Thanks a lot!! But i cant take all the credit. I drew it all out, cut it, grinded it, cleaned it up, and painted it. My dad welded it (I didnt learn how to yet), gave a lot of good pointers, and drank a lot of beer. But heck if i had to look at me all day i would do the same:shock:

It looks really good. What did you cut it with?

:lol:


Looks good, wish you got some in process pics though. I like seeing how things are made more than the actual result.

Sorry, maybe "thin, weak, uniframe rails" would be better.

As long as you used more than just the stock 3 bumper holes it should be okay for recovery duties.

Yup, I always give my buddies who run XJs a hard time about unibody. But in the right hands they're very capable, just don't tell my buddies I said so."thumbsup"
