Project "Eliminator"

it getting a hoop, but not that big. :nuts:

That bumper is starting to look beefy ! :peek:

Some guys weld their bumpers up so well that they use them as the tank for their on board air. I've seen it work pretty well too. You planning on doing something like that with this one Wade?

I don't think he has enough volume in those corners to justify making them into air tanks...

Agreed.

 

Just something that I kinda thought about as I was looking at the pics...

[89eliminator]

i don't think so. if anything i would make the rear bumper into an air tank (which i don't see happening anytime soon, if ever.)

[89eliminator]

machined the d-ring mounts tonight

[MiNi Beast]

that looks so pretty. :clapping:

[CWLONGSHOT]

Nice work on the mounts!!

 

I have a couple coming from AJ's for my rear bumper. They are good and long so they can be punched thru and welded from both sides. Thats the way it should be done!!

heck yeah it is.

[89eliminator]

getting close to done....

 

everything is fully welded, minus the top caps and angle plates. the d-ring mounts are welded and bolted to the bumper mounts just in case a weld fails, there are still 2 grade 5 bolts holding it.

 

self explanatory haha

 

end welded and blended

 

cap

 

angle plate

Grade 5?

[JeepcoMJ]

Grade 5?

 

he can use grade 8 with that bumper. grade 5 is just for tow hooks...he has clevis.

[89eliminator]

Grade 5?

 

grade 5 on the d-ring mounts. grade 8 will be used on the bumper.

[89eliminator]

done minus tube, grinding and paint. weight=70lbs bumper, 50lbs winch so after the tube it should be around 130 lbs total.

 

 

capped off

 

back side

 

some of my welds. I'm no expert but there is solid penetration and they look pretty decent. all the welds will be smoothed though.

[MiNi Beast]

needs paint i think. :thumbsup:

[500 MJ]

Came out nice Wade!

[CWLONGSHOT]

Looks really good, now its time to get a little intimate with that bumper and a hi-speed grinder with a flap wheel!! Get rid of all them weld boogers and pretty up any uneven welds/edges. THEN your ready for some primer. THEN go back and correct anything that comes to lite. THEN PAINT...

 

Don't skimp now, its looking GREAT SO FAR!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

All I can think about is that tight little blonde that would hop otta that rig. :brows:

[DJM/78]

Looks good , does the weight of the bumper drop the front any ?
