89eliminator Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 looks good! gonna wrap it around to meet the fender flares? yup. 2"x2" box cut on an angle to match the flare angle. Its going to look like its smiling :D what do you mean? :hmm:
500 MJ Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 looks good! gonna wrap it around to meet the fender flares? yup. 2"x2" box cut on an angle to match the flare angle. Its going to look like its smiling :D what do you mean? :hmm: Are you going to angle the tube up or just bring it back like the JCR bumpers? I got from your comment that you were going to angle it up at the flares, but now that I re-read it I guess that you didn't specifically say that... :doh:
JeepcoMJ Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I believe it's more or less going to look like the side of mine... Image Not Found just that his will go back to meet the fender flare and continue the same angle as the flare on the inside...
MiNi Beast Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 looks good. But won't know anything until you test it out. :D
89eliminator Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 got the sides tacked on. they will be getting a brace from them to the bumper mounts just in case i land on something. i don't want them to smash into the fenders.
jpdocdave Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 so that means the ends are trimmed to length now to? lets see a front pic. lookin good, can't wait for the finished product :thumbsup:

MiNi Beast Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 so this one is mine right? You then building the solid one based off this one?

89eliminator Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 your fenders aren't trimmed quite level... i appreciate you pointing out the one flaw that has been bugging me ever since i cut them, jerk.
JeepcoMJ Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 your fenders aren't trimmed quite level... i appreciate you pointing out the one flaw that has been bugging me ever since i cut them, jerk. :P so get out the thin wheel and trim them properly!

89eliminator Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 ...you promised us some pics...? and here they are :D i wanted the side tubes as far out as the flares so when i hit some trees, the flares don't rip off.

89eliminator Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 made my caps for the top my dad will be making my d-ring mounts one of these days too. hopefully i can get this bumper close to done this weekend.
Darren Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 It needs a stinger. But that one isn't big enough.
500 MJ Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Ok, so if that stinger isn't gaudy enough... I'd hate to be the guy to give that Jeep an alignment. WOW.
