Little Bit of Armor Added and Bumper Build

Well after I took a little body damage, yeah I know it's going to happen, but I want to limit it to as little as possible. I purchased and installed the Warrior lower body panels in black, and installed the RC Rock Sliders (which I will modify at a later date to attach to pinch seam).

An update on the rear bumper status. After waiting for the company to produce the rear bumper to match the front (not going to happen), I started the building process for the rear.

Same Tube style as front, 2" top and 1 1/2" bottom, with the angled look. Building like the front with the 3 piece design, with the middle bolted onto the body using 1/4 steel plating for mouting to the back, and adding the sides of the bumpers which will be angle around the sides of the body, with 2 shackles. The sides should be built this weekend (hopefully).

(These of from my Cell, so crapy pics)

The only thing I did not do was place the small curve into the bumper that the body has in the rear. Once it is all finished, I will come back across the back body and cut and pop-rivet some black diamond plate to fill in the roughness of the body.

Once this is built, I will look into placing a tire mount onto the bumper to get if off the roof. Inside will eventually be caged, but 1st things 1st, new 4 1/2" lift sitting inside garage awaiting the bumper to get completed. To many projects at once just adds to the madness.

My only concern about the side pieces for the bumper is going to be strength, I want to build this to withstand the corners sliding over rocks, so I am still working on other ideas on strengthing the corners.

It's my wanna be Hemi stripes.
