BUMPER FAB IDEAS

[94XJFAB]

I came up with this design to make for the front of my jeep. i was thinking about running tubes off the side to help protect the corner light and the corner of the fender. seems like no one makes a bumper that fits if your running 4 bolt steering conversion plates. any suggestions before i water jet this thing.

I can make any alterations to my ORS bumpers. For some reason I can't see your picture to even know if the design is similar.

hopefully this pic is better. my surface mounting area is 1/2" wider then stock because of the 1/4" plates on each side from doing a yj steering box swap.

I deal with that all the time since most of my customers are running some form of weld on frame plates.

 

[94XJFAB]

did you clearance some sheet metal between the " frame rails " for your winch. looks bad ass in your thread though.

 

[Action Fab]

Just cut out enough room in the stock crossmember to clear the winch.

Ill definitely be ordering one of your bumpers before the season is out. Love the design.

might change the way the tow hook tabs mount so they dont knife into the plate any more. the plate wont bend right if you have cut outs near a brake. but once i make one i can determine cost.

Your pics still don't work.

Looks like you're trying to link to images that are in your gmail account? We don't have access to your gmail account so they aren't showing up...

Try photobucket or a similar hosting site.

Yep came out fine :yelclap:

Similar style to what Action Fab makes and sells.

Looks like it's going to stick out a fair amount though and you're only picking up the three stock bumper bolts? Even with full frame/steering box reinforcement, it would probably be a good idea to tie into more than just those 3 stock bolts.

 

[94XJFAB]

right now im going to unfold this part in solidworks and print it out full scale, make a paper bumper to double check everything before i water jet this. maybe i can get it tighter. so you would extend the tabs to get another bolting location?

thanks

What he said. I'd at least tie into a few of the PS box bolts and corresponding holes on the passenger side.

Ok thanks for the input. I'm going to re design some things on it and post a new one. I'm hoping to get this thing cut next week!

That picture is pretty similar to the center section of what I built a few months ago, but mine doesn't drop down as far

I definitely agree you should tie into all the bolt holes up there. I think it's 7 per side? That's what mine is.

looking at that design....

just save yourself some time and buy one from actionfab.

the price is pretty good, and unless you access to a plasma table, you won't get one that is as perfect as his.
