this is the front crossmember/"bumper" i have drawn up for it to be made

ktmracer419 · 08-24-2007, 10:20 AM

just a suggestion. make some sort of extension to go around the header panel, unless you like breaking marker lenses and headlight bezels

**HeavyMetal** · 08-24-2007, 10:22 AM

me no care

ktmracer419 · 08-24-2007, 10:25 AM

you should, breaking those stupid little things get annoying and expensive

**HeavyMetal** · 08-24-2007, 10:31 AM

me will think about it

i don't think heavy cares as he didn't try to "preserve" the fenders...... or the roof.... or the hatch........ or the door hinges.............hell, the only things that i can tell were preserved were the wheels, the hood, part of the uni and the drivetrain. i'm assuming all else is not important.

**HeavyMetal** · 08-24-2007, 08:34 PM

and the wheels are taken off my old setup on my green cherokee so they dont even count haha

really i dont wanna take it anywhere and destroy it, but i dont care tooooo mcuh about this one especially in comparison to my 'real' one lol, this ones for mild fun in the woods as of now
