Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 new mount looks pretty pimp. I know its a little late but could you cut that front crossmember and recess the winch back? Eventually on my mine I want to chop out the crossmember, put the winch as close as comfortable to the harmonic balancer, build new crossmember/bumper around that. :dunno: someday.

I did consider that, but didnt like were i would have to mount my anti-rock if i did.. so, considering that i would only have gotten a couple extra inchs out of a lot of work.

RockMJ Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Pure sexiness! Any chance we can get a shot looking up towards the motor? Curious about the clearances RockMJ
H3RESQ Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 can't seem to get clear picture of winch to motor clearance, ill try again tomorrow with some added lights. here is pics (thats what matters...lol) questions, just ask. Tearing bed off tomorrow to start rear.
89eliminator Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 you should just throw some clear coat on that bumper and call it good
H3RESQ Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 you should just throw some clear coat on that bumper and call it good If i didnt live in Washington! If i lived in Cali or Arizona I would. I love bare metal.

H3RESQ Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 It will get a small bit of tube to protect the grill and mount the LED lights. Then its finished. The small hole on left side of fairlead is for the winch controller plug.
cody4359 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 looks like someone took some hints from the RLC fab bumper "wild one"....... looking good :D http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=789713

I suppose it could have been in the back of my head. Was really about leaving open to reach winch lever and being similiar to rear. I do like those bumpers uniqueness, but that pointy one has horrible tow point locations for approach. I like first for xj/mj. Second would be cool for a new tacoma or a colorado with the sharp angles.
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Nice. Now cut it in half behind the cab and start linkin' and toobin' :D
H3RESQ Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Nice. Now cut it in half behind the cab and start linkin' and toobin' :D Pulled bed to start rear today. It will be complete though, will not even be using bed i bobbed. At glance it will just look like a lifted comanche. Ive decided i really want to keep this truck full bodied. To nice to truggy/chop/fiberglass/ or ruin clean original shape.
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 so, where are the tow points on that front bumper?
