Any more pics of that? It looks pretty good IMO for a home made bumper.

my school has a machine shop so i want to try and fab my own bumper like the one in the original link you posted. its gunna take some work though and we dont have a pipe bender so theres gunna be a wee bit of welding invlolved:

Here is some more pics of my bumper, sorry its muddy. Those are led lights in the front and I also have led lights mounted on the bottom of the side pieces so it will glow down on the tires when I am wheeling at night. I also have a piece at the bottom of the bumper angled upward to protect the radiator.

You can see how nice it tucks up.

nice license plate

So do you guys have piles of stock bumpers sitting around somewhere? If you do, let me know. I could use a not effed up one

Hmmm maybe thats an excuse to get an aftermarket one

I posted this one earlier and then I made a second because i wanted diamond plate and fog lights. I also set the winch down a bit further to get better air flow.

Sold my stock bumper to a kid that hooked his dad's ZJ on a rock and cracked the bumper. He was delighted to buy mine, and I helped him install it before his dad got home from a biz trip. Good deed for that year.

this bumper minus the grill guard and light guards.
its basic, not bulky, holds the winch in instead of on the bumper and its cheap.


and whats with almost every home made bumper looking way too massive and disproportinate?

What bumper is this?

I used my google-foo.

The company was called KMA (Kennesaw Mountain Accessories), but it's now Tactical Armor Group. The bumper is called the "Wincher". Here is a direct link:

I think in real life, the bumper would look like it's sticking out too far though.
