Here's an update on my bumper. Almost ready for the stinger. ;D I love it so far and can't wait to see it done and powder-coated black. As Jeff said the BL and MML is done. Next week the suspension lift will begin. Then once that is completed it will go to Alan's for the gears and tummy tuck. And I still have to rebuild my driveshaft - was supposed to do that last weekend but we were out all weekend exploring and checking out fishing spots so I never got to it. Cindy

Nice bumper, how thick is the winch mount? Looks to be a lot thicker than it needs to be!

Looks heavy duty. Looking forward to seeing this on your jeep with your lift and tires.

Now that's a bumper. Don't forget that she will be hauling Jeff's a$$ out most of the time, so she will need everything as heavy duty as possible... ;D ;D. Bet you can't wait til she's done Cindy.

Haha...that's if can even get him out of the driver's seat...I think he's more excited about it than I am! But I'm pretty damn excited!! ;D In two weeks she'll look 95% done from the outside. I can't wait to see the new stance. Oh yeah she has already changed her looks a little bit, inadvertantly...I blew the checkerboards off the doors with the pressure washer. I was going to take them off anyway when I got my tube doors as they extended past the doors to the body. I got a surprise for my flares that I'm not going to reveal until they're on. Something new that Ray told me about, and I'm going with his suggestion rather than the Bushwacker flat panels. No one else in the club is running these as far as I know. It will probably be three weeks before I get them though. Secret until then.

The bumper is not heavy at all...I don't think it weighs 40 pounds, if it does, not much more...it's quite light and all constructed of 3/16...the winch plate looks like 1/4" but I believe he used 3/16 there too. It's a beauty design, I'm jealous!..lol Jeff

How'd ya know we been fishin'?? lol Jeff Go back and read my first post from today Jeff - down at the bottom. lol But to answer the question, the rivers are swollen and muddy and the lakes still mostly frozen over so even though we tried one place that had a tiny corner of open water, we didn't get any bites.

Yeah I remember when I lived in Dartmouth always seeing people lined up at Albro Lake - they must stock that one to have that many fish. I don't like traffic jams of people at fishing holes. Unfortunately that is what happens at River Philip too, being a popular salmon and brown trout river. I prefer to find a secluded spot where there aren't other people - wheel to get to the spot, do some fishing, catching some would be a bonus but just getting out in the woods finding places to fish is all part of the fun. ;D I'm hijacking my own thread here. lol
