Let's see your bumpers!

[JeepcoMJ]

project88, that's what I was worried about.

 

it's not a tow point.

Hey,Pete,I'm heading to the metal supply shop at lunch.

Do you think it would be smart and or necessary to

triangulate a couple smaller brackets out to the

corners to stop any side to side movement?

I will not be towing,but may winch with it if the

need arises.

[mjdoa]

I really didn't mean to resurrect this thread,

just wanted to make an example of Pete. :D

But I guess now that it's done,give us some more

pics,ya'll. :cheers:

I thought about the triangulation and decided it wasn't necessary. But it can't hurt, so if you want to, go for it. :thumbsup:

[mjdoa]

Thanks,I guess depends on how bad the steel place

wants to rape me.

 

edit:$50 for the pair.

[mjdoa]

$500,what did you paint those with,it looks great?

Looks like Wrinkle Finish Paint you can get it at any auto parts store and if applied correctly it looks killer and covers imperfections ,as I sat it will cover cat s#!!t. 8)

[500 MJ]

On my blue MJ (not the ones that I built in the DIY thread), I had them both bedlined with "Extreme liner" at the local body shop when I had my truck bed done.

 

Kinda Pricey but I think it was well worth it.

 

[garmj]

Good thing with the Wrinkle Finish is if you screw it up you can touch it up with a spray bomb cheap.

i just got my rear bumper from protofab today so i will post both of my bumpers in a day or so

[mjdoa]

I guess it'll be wrinkle paint.

Jeez,right back to the 70's.

Front has that on it,might as well.

I'm getting brackets fabbed,I'll get them

Thurs or Fri,do the deed this weekend,

I'll stick up some pictures then too.

 

Thankyou $500mj.If I would bother to sirch,

I would have found your build thread.

I'm learning. :oops:

I felt it was necessary in my case to add gussets/triangulation to assist in side to side deflection. I knew at some point I would end up in a situation where it wouldn't be a straight pull from the rear. Flat plate, even 1/4", will bend fairly easily when subjected to those types of loads. This shows the gussets that I added. I ran them almost to the shackle hanger to help transfer as much of the load as possible in a side pull to the uniframe.

Thanks,reson46.I just picked up the brackets.

They are almost exactly what Pete M had built.

Now that I see them in person,and am planning to be

able to winch off this bumper,I'll gusset it also.

Will do it this weekend,have some scraps I can use

to beef it up some.

Btw,yours looks great,super heavy cuty.Nice job. :cheers:

Thanks. At first I thought you mistyped cute instead of duty.

 

Willy

[mjdoa]

No.It was supposed to read duty.

Have to hide and hurry posting at work.

Sorry. :oops:

[garmj]

Thanks for your old bumper mjdoa and the advise on posting pics. It was good to meet you the bumper will bolt to my brackets with drilling only 2 holes. :cheers: [/img]

[MiNi Beast]

:dunno: So wheres the bumper?

[Pete M]

It's invisible. :D

[FxRacing282]

why would someone make an invisible bumper but not the bumper brackets?? it just dosent make any sense :nuts:

[Pete M]

He probably ran out of invisible steel. It's not like it grows on invisible trees, don't ya know. :D

[project88mj]

yeah it like $4,000,000,000,000 per square inch

 

and he spect all his money on a comanche

 

i can't think of a better way can you

[garmj]

Sorry I forgot to have Scotty turn off the cloaking device.

[/img]

 

I only use that device for insurance claims.

[mjdoa]

Now straighten out the end before anyone sees it,

and remove that dopey sticker. :laughin:

(I have another one for mine,if I ever get a roundtoit)

[garmj]

Hey I am just glad to have a good useable bumper,searched the internet for a month been cheated and lied to by internet parts stores. I will soon straighten thje bumper corner and repaint the bumper carefully masking around that sticker to preserve it. :nuts:
