It looks off in one picture as I had yet to tighten down the bolts. Guess I should finish first THEN admire my handiwork :D

Somehow I missed this thread when it first was made.

Anyway, here is the front bumper from my old cherokee. Tad built it, and I miss it very much. But unfortunately it would not fit on my J10.

i really liked the way my truck looked with the stock 3 pc bumpers better. one day i might just make a reciver and shackle mounts that go through the stock bumpers and put them on. use a winch on a reciver mount.
front is an early 80s ford ramsey winch bumper. I had to remove the diamond plate on top to suck it in tight and make brackets to work, and it still needs some work to really fit the fsj. i will cut the diamond plate and put it back, it makes a nice step.
Image
rear I built as an air tank, 4" pipe, 2 caps, a piece of tube for a reciver, some shackle mounts, and the tire swingout, and cb antenna mount. im going to make a slightly different swingout.
Image
im torn on the whole thing. sometimes id like to clean my jeep up and just stick with a nice classic look, sort of like dr.marns. but most of the time id like to just keep going fabbing stuff and keep building it and using it as a beater/wheeler.

I really like wnyjpgy's bumper on the "family crawler" the best. I would swap in a second.

I really like that one. And the license plate would cover the logo so I wouldn't have to grind it off.
Having seller's regret.
