im tired and dont want to do a full write up till the project is done so

here are some cool pics from the work we did today


rearbumper upside down bar is to protect the gas tank

whole rear bumper (being painted


the pink towel makes it look like the jeep is sticking its tounge out lol


we are still going to put another bar ontop


getting ready to weld







i have some cool welding pics and some tube bending pics ill put up tommoroe

Like the bumper, but not to sure about the pull points. What was the cost?

[Kalesinajeep]

we figured by the time we are done itll be about the equivalent of 1000 dollars in bumpers

we are going to be into it front and back maybe $50 dollars

we aso own a metal shop

that helps a little

the pull points are verrrrrrrrryyy well done and are not going any where

[trailsnail]

If you decide to make some for others, please let me know, I need a front.

whats the reason for the bar on the bottom of the front.

I am currently building a front bumper and i want to do a winch hoop, what wall thickness and type of tubing are you using?
here's a link to my current bumper build.

I used to sell those d rings for hd equipment trailer safety chain set ups, you could pull a semi with em if the welds are good. Nice lookin bumpers, you might want to make the rears wrap around under the body corners, they crush easily.

I'm sure they'll hold up fine to the weight but how do you expect to get a strap on them?

we are using 1 1/2' with 120 wall

[Kalesinajeep]

we finished our bumpers today so here are the bumpers mounted....



the front bumper, we are greasing the towel holder...
jk we have greasable shackles

the lower bar is to protect the steering box and low hondas



the rear bumper



grinding down weld spatter (its a technical term)... making it pretty



using the pipebender was all about trial and error



wheeling at local reiter pit later

idk maybe a shackle...

ha ha ha

lookin good!

i would have gone with 3/16" or 1/4" wall sicne you plan to use them as tow points but i tend to build bumpers way overkill and way too heavy

looks great though... very nice finish!

-Erik <---- has used those shackles on a ton of trailers and bumpers and absolutely love them

Good answer. I was hoping you'd come back with an answer other than, "my tow strap has hooks on it, duhhhhhhh!"
