XJ Rear Bumper Build Part Two

in this uncontrollably fast slideshow (sorry) we look at how the end caps for the bumper we made from scrap are made. the end caps too, are made from scrap, as you'll see.

as usual... comments/feedback always welcome

later on we'll submit how we fab the receiver into the rear bumper, and tie-ins

LOL i think the last one was fast too... I didnt have time to read the captions... Maybe im just a slow reader... Looks sweet...

Edit! I have the EXACT same bead blaster a work... That thing is awesome! THo i do have a press break! It's nice to have too.

not bad, but kinda looks a little off with just that ONE piece on each side being diamond plate.

I get royalties every time you view it... so view it as many times as necessary! JK.

I never know what these projects are going to turn out looking like... it's kinda a cwap shoot. there's a first time for everything... right?

JCR's stuff is like that isn't it? or is that a different company that offers the smooth bumper, diamond plate sides or all diamond plate...

I'm sure someone out there does... and I liked the lines I saw on their front bumper... which I borrowed, but only the sweepback angle.
I haven't seen one that covers as much of the rearmost rocker, but then again, someone out there probably makes one. I just used what I had on hand... it was free material rescued from the scrap bin at my shop... it was formerly crossbeams and plates from an alignment rack, in 1/4" and 3/16" respectively.
I'm hoping that once I have enough extra $$ for a winch, I'll have no problems modifying the front bumper to accept it, since it's plenty strong enough to begin with, if done correctly.
