we're gonna price up the metal, Get into 'er and see what the results and prices are like. He'll factor in the time it takes to do em up...(hopefully with this template to get all the measurements from, it won't be so bad)........From there we'll see if any more can be done..... His will be two inches wider on each side and will be as wide as a YJ flare.I like mine just inside the YJ flare. Pics of the project will be updated as we go.  |

I think he's gonna see how the YJ ones go....IE - cost, time, results etc...... before any future plans are made. But I know him well....and I would say he could make anything for anything (if you know what I mean)....I will ask him if he plans to make more. I think that if all goes well for these ones , and it doesn't take three years to do one.....he will be able to make them for others (he can design and build to others individual specs based on this design as well...)....this one is for mine....his is going to actually have a "4x4" cut out and recessed with a turn signal light behind his. I will ask him to post his reply to your question K??

All I got was a small box with the red X. I right clicked on it , then selected show picture and it appeared. Was it just the forum or is this machine of mine out of wack?

Probably the forum Eddie - I've seen them from the get-go, so they are up and viewable.

GDFingJeep........... there is exactly six inches from the grill to the beginning of the bumper, and this particular bumper is six inches wide on the top. (for a total of twelve inches out from the grill ) It is 58 Inches in length and about 7.5 inches to the bottom before it curves under. But again, this is just made out of aluminum and can be adjusted as we go.

It'd have to be well supported to hold up to some heavy duty winching and tow-strapping. I've heard of aluminum bumpers before, and even heard good things. I understand they can get pricey, but with the current price of steel, maybe it's worth it...dunno... |
