Alright, so a month or so ago i picked up a 98' xj. The ink wasnt even dry on the check before i had plans for a custom front bumper in my head. I bounced some ideas off my old man and we had a plan. We started by getting rid of the old bumper/brush guard combo.
We made some 1/4 brackets and a rough cut center piece out of 3/16 4 inch stock, the lift came in so work was suspended.
Next came the angels, cut from the same stock, and some 10000lbs tow hooks from smitty built.
My pops...
Now it was time for some serious brain storming. I decided i wasnt going to cut the fenders (yet) so i figured i would continue with the outside line of the fender and carry it straight down and all the way through the front of the skirt. I must admit my old man came up with some pretty nice ideas and fab. options for this part. In the end I went with 2 inch square stock capped with 1/4 inch diamond and the same stuff for the side skirt.
