87manche Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I bought a JD2 model 3 bender i herd alot of good things about them. I never bought any dies for it cause there kind of expensive. the bender itself is only $300. it will bend up to 2" tube. www.JD2.com I'm wanting to try one TSC has that's similar, it's only around $85. A friend of mines wants one, maybe I can talk him into buying it and just using his. :D 8) Thats what iam waiting on :cheers: I love haveing friends that like to Fab Cole well i have a whole shop. with welders of every kind, plasma cutter, all the little hand tools, and benders plus metal band saws. not to rub anything in or anything like that :D . but if you guys were closer you could come use it but it won't help you that much since you guys are so far away. Alex oh but I'm close enough ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 here's a pic of my bumper I made not to long ago. Its made of C-channel with the ends boxed end. Its mounted with stock brackets that are reinforced to the bumper. Egg egg, that inspires me to box then ends of mine in, that's pretty nice. Did you tie the reciever tube into anything under the bed? I was thinking of taking a strap from the end of the tube and bolting it to the "X" under the bed.

GirsMJ86 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i knew that was a bad idea, but WTH. if we could get all the tractors out of the way and all the hay sold we have for sale that is sort of not allowing me to grind or weld or anything that could set it on fire :eek: . lol.

Alex I seriously doubt I'll make a trip that far just to work on my truck, but it was an idea. Plus it'd be a long time before I did if I did. :cheers: 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i figured you guys were joking. but if all the hay was out of there and we had the room it wouldnt be a problem anyways. but the hay is not selling, anyone need any? lol.

mjeff87 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Free shipping?? I just had to buy 6 bales of straw @ Lowe's this weekend......$4.49 a bale :headpop: Most of it was full of friggin' cornstalks, too.... Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 if you are wanting straw then i can't help ya. hay and straw is two different things. hay is more for animals and straw goes on the ground as covering. most people don't see the difference.

Alex I've heard that, just never knew for sure. All I know is, you coulda fed this stuff to animals it had so much "extra" stuff in it. I was gonna take it back, but it's kinda hard to re-bale it once you cut the twine off, y'know? :D Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i know what ya mean. we had someone come out and look at our bales and they cut one open before the said they were going to buy. lets just say my stepdad was not happy at all until that person said they would buy and pay for it.

feerocknok Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Tourists at the stables I work at always try to feed the horses straw and I want to smack them. :fool: Then again, every movie I've seen calls straw "hay". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 eh its hollywood, they are not that bright. look at what they did in war of the worlds, they ruined a nice mj when they could have used an xj just as easy and there are a ton more of those. i think we have hi-jacked this thread since noone else seems to have bumper pics. lol.

xjblue Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 hay! I think this was hijacked.... now back on topic :D this is the "loose" test fitting after my fender hack job.

JOMJ87 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I love that bumper for some reason. Do you have to buy the hitch part to weld in it kinda looks like it. Is that Homemade?? And BTW i don't care you hijacked my thread there wasnt any bumper pics coming up and hell i was helping in the jacking. :cheers: :D Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepthing07 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I finaly got my bumper finished and mounted it's made from 3/16 wall 2x5" tube. Image Not Found I made the mounts out of 6" wide 1/4" plate. i still need to weld some 3" 1/4 wall angel to bolt to the bottom of the frame and reinforce the bumper from side loading. Image Not Found And i found this license plate light for $3 at Advance Auto Parts its small and has a metal housing i don't think it will get broken to easy Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Jeepthing07 Looks great. I was wandering how you did your corners of the body?? It looks like you cut them flush and plated them. Makes the bumper ride nice and snug. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
