I had a thread with a few pics of the progress on these.
The guy I built them for finally got them on and I got some good pictures of it on the truck now.

 

good work! i love an old cj

 

Your gonna want some type of support tubes for the stinger, otherwise it will not hold up. It will just bend back. Other than that looks good.

 

I was going to make a gusset plate, But the guy just wanted it this way, He wanted it for looks,

 

They came out good. Nice job.

 

his loss.

Function>looks

 

Yea, But I doubt he'll be standing his truck up on it or anything.
I'm probably going to be doing more work for him eventually, I have a feeling he'll want some added next time.

 

looks good wanna make me a rear bumper?

 

sooo the rear bumper is all beefy, then its bolted on with thin like 1/8" steel?

 

that doesn't make to much sense.

 

No, Where do you see that?
The rear mounts are made of 3\16 angle iron, one welded to the bumper, and a piece bolted to the truck, Then those bolt together, The back mounts are going to get added to eventually, But he was in a hurry to get it on because he'd be driving it soon. Which he has more work to do on the truck, sliders, and roll bar work, so it will be done when thats done.

The part on the rear of the truck where the bumper mounts to, had some steel welded into the back of it to stiffen it up a bit.

The front crossmember had 3\16 angle iron welded into it, and angle iron again for mounts on the front.

Actually, all steel used for the mounts is 1\4"

 

Haha, why not.
