mpace6a Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Does anyone have any blueprints for, or places to buy, front bumper brackets to build a winch bumper? Preferably using as many existing holes as possible, perhaps like for a front hitch? Ive found prints for rear bumper/rear hitch/ front tow points, but I'd like to have more holes plotted out on the print than $500MJs tow points in the DIY section.

Stacks Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Here's the layout I used on my '89 MJ. I corrected the dimensions from the original to fit my MJ. All holes exist on the frame of the MJ. I suggest making a cardboard or 1/8" masonite template and get it fitted before doing the real metal one. I used 5/16" plate to make mine cuz that is what I had on hand. I tend to go with overkill and would have liked to use 3/8". Longer bolts will be needed to re-mount the steering box. Also be aware, if you aren't already, there is a 'spacer' between the steering box and the frame. There's a link to my build thread for some pix of the front bumper, etc. http://comancheclub.com/topic/33955-89-mj-work-truckdd-to-dd-and-4-wheeling-whenever/ [/url]"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 JCR, Dirtbound Offroad, etc. Have tie-in/bumper brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I saw the JCR brackets, I'm still considering buying one of their DIY bumpers. But I see no reason to pay for their frame tie ins when i work in a steel shop and have access to all the necessary machinery to make my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
