Project recycled bumper
Well I feel I'm doing my bit for the environment and recycling some ARB bars
Just started and have some progress shots.
Well here is 2 of the 3 bars I have to work with. All 3 bars are to fit a 80 series Landcruiser which I like the shape of the most and what I made my rear bumper from already.
Well didn't take long to rip the first one apart. I only needed the one end from this to replaced a badly twisted one on the third bar I have. Cant see in the shots but this had the mounts bent across at about a 40 degree angle which had buckled the centre section. Looks like I wont need any parts from the white winch one at all. This one looks as though it has been just knocked back on one side a bit but was very hard to tell until I put a straight edge on it. Might make a good project for someone who wants a winch mount which I didn't.
You can see here how I have filled in the old indicator hole. Not needed as I wont have the top bars interfering with the stock ones. I panel beated the damage it had and now it is nice and square too.
This is the third bar which only had the end damaged on it.
Not much left of it now!
Just laid it out after filling in the other indicator hole but much still to do as is way too wide for the Jeep and I want to change some angles yet plus the new mounts and a few other things.
Hope to get more done tomorrow.
