Looks good man. Still planning to do a winch behind the x member?

Thanks guys for the compliments. I got the bumper finished today. Here's some pics.

No winch behind the bumper yet. Honestly I probably won't end up doing it as I don't plan on buying a winch any time soon.

I think I like it. It's something new and something that you don't see very often. I just love being able to start with nothing and be able to design something like this as I go. I had no plans or ideas for the bumper before I started. Just began chopping and went with the flow!

I am not a big fan of after market bumpers but I really like this one. The way it hugs the front makes it look clean.

I really like the minimalistic look on that bumper; very clean.
Just out of curiosity, do have attachment points up front?

 

[Jeep450r]

Thanks a lot for the compliments guys!

Zac, I think Im gonna be selling my three 6" LED light bars and will be buying a 21" single row LED light bar to replace them. Ill do some more cutting and the 21"er will be recessed back into the grill. The front of the light will be flush with the front of the grill. Atleast that is the plan for now!

Demon, I did not have time to get around to building attachment/tow points for the front. But I did grab some 1/2" plate from the scrap bin and will likely be doing something with that. I had plans to weld a hook to the side of the mounting plates but welding a cast hook to mild steel is a big no-no without the proper heating and cooling procedure, which I dont have the ability or the patience to do. So basically, Im not sure yet but when I get back home from school and get a chance to look at it again in person, ill whip something together!

Heres some pics of them on my buddies old rover.

Looking to get what I paid for them. $150 for all three.

Yes, they are bright as ****. Flood. Not sure of the brand.

They won't be available for a few weeks. Need to get the new light bar in first and then ill figure out which to keep. That should all be figured out on the weekend of the 15th when I come home (back to my jeep) to visit and get a chance to work on my heep.

 

[knucklehead 61]

ok, i'll take them as long as they all work & are not cracked or broken.
let me know when & we can set it up.

One or two have a small amount of moisture (condensation) behind the lens, but none are cracked and they are all fully functional. Ill try to clean them up before I sell them, but they may require a quick shot of spray paint.. not positive though, could just be the dirt on them.

Ill let you know when I'm around.

I think im friends of a friend i have seen it on facebook... this is at latrobe... whose rover that is or was??

 

[Jeep450r]

You're next Zac.

Blue, the rover used to belong to my buddy Ryan. Tall skinny white dude. He recently traded it for a nice ranger prerunner and it is back down south I believe.
