Cutting unibody

[Tobyxj]

I think this is fab. If I cut part of this out to tuck my winch in a bit more am I going to hurt the structure ?

get an ORS bumper, he makes them flush or that stick out 2 inches past the grille. They're about 250 shipped to your door. I have one, very nice quality.

To match the other ghetto stuff on the jeep.

is this really advanced fab work here?
that square tube sure is not.

I'm sure it was about cutting and relocating the winch to under the radiator.........pay attention better

That bars looks like it 'might' be a steering box brace? It looks to sit a little too far back for that though.. I think it's possible that it was just to hold the unibody straight while he cut the crossmember.

Edit: I think I figured out the super-cool rusty brace! (Not sarcastic, I see no problem with surface rust, it's just a little unpleasant in certain places. It only takes 10-20 minutes with a wire wheel and some spray paint to take care of it.) Advanced fab doesn't seem to like his home-brew brace. Maybe it needs some dimple-die speed holes and a cool paint job, then they'll embrace it!

Ok I was thinking i already made a brace form one side to the other for the track bar. But yeah only take out what I need

On topic: Great job - It looks clean and functional! I considered going this route when I built my front bumper, but I decided against it, maybe some day when my rig is used less on the street.

And welded it to the top of the knuckle?

 

[jmaxj]

Their not as week as they look in the pictures. but i believe they are ballistic mounts. i know they hold up pretty good cause the PO of this axle was not nice to it.

I added some tube to the frontend today.
