check my bumper

[Ba-Riedo]

Yes, well right now it looks kinda big, throw some light mounts on the outsides where its widest and it will look better.

ya i'm planning on that too. I know I will have to already cut the grill to make it fit anyway.

except for the shackle mounts, the bumper only sticks out 8"s. Thats not very much man. I dono Alex, you think that is too much??

Mine sticks out 6'', and the shackle mounts are 2'' in front of that.

Here is 8"in real life it may or may not be alot

 

[rooneypower]

i dont think that it is that much, besides, I can always just cut mote of the grill to allow the whole thing to scoot back an inch or so...

we shall see.

i think that file is only the front clip. I was hoping that you had one of at least the back end, I'm working on a design for a rear bumper. That front is awesome and helps a lot though. thanks

 

[rooneypower]

I've got the whole XJ. Just delete what you dont want. Thats what I did. Here....

So when are you gonna start cutting metal keil? Have you made your brackets yet? Get moving, I want to see this when I get back from Mexico!

Looks good, but I would push the whole bumper back a few inches so its not so much of a tug boat and cut your grill and supress the winch into it.

Just say it d!ck!!! "Don't make it look like the one Rich did originally" That's what you wanted to say isn't it? :roflmao: :roflmao:

:shhh: Dont tell Rich..... Thats hella funny lol......:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[rooneypower]

can you get sheets of 3/16" in a size of 2' wide X 4' long very easy?
Or do I need to break it up??

 

[Mc2KXJ]

Pacific Industrial Supply down in SeaTac. They have everything. There might be something closer to you, but they are who I use. Hope that helps.

Basically, there is only room for one tug boat. I debated a navy comment but decided against it...

[rooneypower]

So that kind of a size is reasonable to find around here?

The closest place for me to go to is Whiteside, It is next to Shohomish City, on Snohomish Woodinville Rd. They also have unbeatable prices its seems. Compared to Everet Steel, Everet wanted $100 for 2 pieces of 60" 2X6X3/16" tubing. Whiteside charged me $75!!!!!

 

[RCP Phx]

Might want to wait about a week(for pics)!I'm just about done with my new one and I already hate it(and its not even done yet,if I wasn't so far along,I'd change it now)! I thought I took in every conceivable mod,but it still didn't come out the way I wanted it to.Jason here already offered to buy it,but I want to see come to term first!

 

[rooneypower]

Ya thats in the back of my mind, will this come out as shit??

I dont think so, I built my rockrails and they are some of the cleanest ones I have seen in a while...(OLD PIC, the tops are rhino lined so the paint doesnt rub off, and then pint everywhere else)

I guess all I can say is, we will see what happens

 

[racer32]

I built my bumper with 3/16 frame tie ins and the main portion from 14 ga and havent had any issues yet but I also dont thrash my rig and drag it across rocks every weekend either...

 

[rooneypower]

Ya I'm the same way.

Gonna go and pickup my metal today.
