500 MJ Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 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? :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWLONGSHOT Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 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!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWLONGSHOT Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 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: CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
