Anyone making Bumpers/sliders?

tharlanjr · Jun 24, 2008

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had the Fab skils or equipment to fab me up a small basic bumper and some sliders.

I can weld and use a cutting torch, but I dont have either of them.

If you can build I can pay you what you want, or I can help and still pay and supply the beer...

This if for a ZJ, not an XJ...

Thanks!

I think his name on here is hillbilly, don't quote me.. Some one will say if i'm wrong

I have made some sets of sliders for people. I use 2x4 1/4" or 2x6 1/4" tubing. If you search on this site there are pics of them. Also hellbilly makes some very popular sliders out of round tube.

Hellbilly04 did my Billy Bars and front bumper light bar.
His website is http://www.otrfabwerks.com/
He does some amazing stuff with tube and he's a great guy too. Check out the threads by cds36 titled "and so it continues" 1 2 3 4 etc etc

PM Troy. He's somewhat local to you and does great work.

x2 on Troy's work you will not find a better welder

If I were closer Id throw my hat into the ring but with gas prices you would have to take out a mortgage just in getting here

Thanks guys, Your best bet being your down in SD would be Troy. I'm pretty busy & won't have time till the end of August to do it anyway so hit up Mr.Overkill he's a great guy does good work.

p.s Gerr can't weld he just talks about it.

1xfloppy · Jun 24, 2008

Wow!! Lack of penetration sounds like a huge issue!!

tharlanjr · Jun 25, 2008

By the way, sorry for your hot and ready, but not able to penetrate problem...

ehh it was a bad day for the 110 unit that died as we were trying to use in a pinch. I still chuckle about that once in a while. My wife claimed the 70amp welder as hers and wants to learn how to weld, so I got her scrap and a helmet, I think she will do fine shes one of those perfectionist people and she has a worlds worth of patience which explains why she puts up with my ugly mug.
