bumper build...not a ranger
my brothers 1990 YJ. this is what we accompleshed tonight. basicly he did most of the cutting(i did some) and i did all the welding because well im better ha.
mock up and figuring out how wide to make it
cut down/mounts welded
winch mount mocked
mount welded/braced/ and boxed to fit around factory tube cross member on the frame
winch mocked
and of course the welder claimed a pair of shorts ha
obviously we arent quite done yet, any suggestions?
hows my welding look?...im 100% self taught.

nice beads dude, but you see the little holes in a couple of em? your moving too fast
but youve got the technique down for sure. its fast and slow here and there.
what are you using? 220 stick 220 mig?
i used to bring my leather welding apron to metal shop when i would have to weld, its so dam hot in cali pants arent an option and im not a fan of sparks burning holes in my shorts or my legs lol

buut is it just me or does the left side of the bumper look longer than the right?
personally i woulda made the bumper a tad longer, but it looks good
i love the millermatics, they lay down smooth clean beads if adjusted correctly
