Bumper Build

[YJ-GENRAL]

You have any shots of the build up of the bumper? Like is it out of plate welded together? Or is it plate bent and welded up? OR is it peices of tube welded up?

you want him to show you the skematics? dang... almost like you want to know how to build one yourself and not buy one :eyes:

PM me with a price please.:wave1:

 

[YJ-GENRAL]

well if people are good with the price it seems you will have to start up an assembly line in the shop hehe.

looks a lot like the nates4x4 slimline recessed winch bumper i got...did u go with the 1/8th to cut down on weight?

 

[Team Willys]

1/8th is all that is needed, everything is gusseted and well engineered so it works fine. Its not gonna bend under any normal abuse. Now, hit an oak tree at 70... and it might bend, but you're gonna be dead so it wont matter! lol.

And Greg, your Nates is 1/8th tube. Jarrad has the same one as you. And, as a matter of fact, it is kinda supposed to look like the nates as that is what the customer wanted. However, mine uses more attachment points, has the correct spacing for the frame plates (Jarrad's was like 1/2" too wide???) and also has 1" more ground clearance than a comparable Nates, so while they do look similar, my design does have its benefits over theirs.

i just finished cutting down the mounts on my nates cuz the dang thing sticks out so far...yea the front is 1/8th on mine, one of the things i dont like about it. i even had to add a few welds cuz he forgot on mine ha.

Damn nice Tyler
Looks well thought out and engineered.

Very nice bumper and very good engineering on all RSOR work

So your Nates Bumper was junk too huh??? Lol, Doesn't surprise me that he missed some stuff. Jarrad's was different from side to side by a lot. Like on one side the welds were ground smooth and on the other they were not??? Weird. This one has extra gussets that you can't see (They are under and behind) to help make it stronger.

the fit was good on the mounts on mine, but he forgot one weld. mine is cut down now so ive got better approach angle, and i fully welded everything (more than he did). still, for the price i paid i couldnt beat it. at the time i bought i had never welded anything before ha.

ok i ll take one.. on a payment plan of 25 a month .. any scratches, dings and dents will result in money taken off of total cost due to wear and tear not present during purchase....

Love it guys!

Great fab work. Just curious how do the D-ring tabs mount?

PM a price for one picked up if youre gonna make more

 

[Team Willys]

The D-ring tabs go all the way through the tube and are welded on the front and the back (back is rosette welded).

As of right now, I am not shipping or building bumpers unless I have the Jeep they are going on to build it off of. I don't have a Cherokee to build off of, so there is no way for me to build one and know that it will fit correctly. However, I can usually complete one within 3 days (takes a day for paint to cure usually, and I remove and sand it all before paint. So... the paint has to be dry before I can put it back on).
