or superwinch...but warn would be better.

Go warn man. I was breaking my superwinch ones every trip. Haven't broken a single warn yet.

Warn Premium and a spare set of warn regular hubs (the guts on both the premium and the regular are the same with the caps being the only difference).

Looks like ill be ordering some warn premiums, ill get my MM warrantied and use them as trail spares.

In the process of a rear quarter cut and fold. **** rivets.... i just welded the whole thing up, and then put a nice juicy layer of some sealant. Im in the process of modding the bumper so it wraps all the way around.

Bought some bumpstops for the rear, these will be going in this weekend most likely.

If you look closely youll notice a scar on my wrist... broke my radius back in august in a couple places, now its all plated/screwed back together:gee: 1/8 inch titanium plate in that bitch. Its getting better now, but definitely not 100%, i only have like 50% movement, and its pretty weak.

Also been toying around with this idea.

tape wont hold.
rear looks good, i welded and sealed mine too. dont wait too long to wrap the bumpers around, i messed mine up within like a month.

 

[twodoorXJ]

Bumpers almost done.

Im having severe issues with my welder though. As soon as i turn it on it makes a loud BZZZZZZZZ noise, and the wire always has juice going to it, even if im not pressing the trigger, it still welds, but theyre shitty welds. I need to find a shop that can look at it for me, as i know NOTHING about repairing welders.

Update:

Got a new welder, Millermatic 211:

Pictures of finished rear bumper and other random pics:

Overall im really happy with the way the bumper turned out, it took a while to get it to match the angles of the existing bumper, as well as the body. Ill have more cool pics next weekend after Rocktoberfest

I love your jeep!


now you need a cage.

 

[twodoorXJ]

Thanks!! And i know, ive got the plans for the bender, now i just need money and time to build it. Realistically should have a cage by the end of this summer. Not enough hours in the day for school and work

same here. tube bender is my after christmas purchase and the cage is my spring project.

Cages are lame. I finally painted mine for Rocktoberfest.

 

[ktm racer 419]

nice work.

and cage it before you ruin it like i did. 2 doors are uber vunerable.

 

[twodoorXJ]

Just weighed my jeep.... guess how much it weighs

 

[Vanimal]

4200

 

[MoparManiac]

4600

 

[XJLI]

4550.

 

[Vanimal]

damn, you guys have some fatty jeeps.

 

[twodoorXJ]

3980

I was shocked that it was under 4k

 

[Vanimal]

that's pretty close to mine. i figured your bumpers and rockers might add a bit more.
i was at 3900 with me in it, but that was before the front d44 and i still had 33's instead of 35's.
