bumper update... still looks like ***.
i don't feel like typing right now.
And Yes, it will get some gussets added to it, ASAP. I put the stinger at 55*
The welder i have been using. Its my uncles, just sat there for ever so he told me i could use it when ever i wanted. so i cleaned it up and bought a new spool of wire for it and a bottle. The helmet hanging off of the bottle is not mine, i tried using it but is sucks ***, so i use my pops helmet.

I like everything except that big hoop (stinger?) sticking out. I know its there to protect the front end and what not, but i think you could accomplish the same thing with a smaller one. JMHO. Other than that, get a skid plate under there, powder coat it, and thats a job well done! Can you can make mine next? lol

Your right, I'm not a fan at all. I like the look of the plate bumper personally, I understand the usefulness of it I just don't like it.

It is all bolt on. I still have tons of work that needs to be done. Today i will start on the stinger supports.
After that the sides will need to be welded to a 1/2" plate, and then bolted the frame most likely. I am still working (thinking) about what i am gonna do.
The plate in the back is a piece of 3/8 steel angle 5"x3" And is bolted in with 2 BAMF bolts(grade 5 i no i no ill get some grade 8 when i can)
When it is all done, i will have it sand blasted, and then rhino lined, or some thing similar.

**** son, toss some support in there and i would rock it, i think it looks sick!
you should weld in a front reciever while your at it
then i'll come steal it
actually its just big enough, correct me if i'm wrong but the main purpose of them is to protect the radiator if you roll it so it doesnt get crushed, along with other vital things under the hood.
no
some may have said this is too big.. but it saved his ***
then again, had it been a ranger with the longer wheel base.. and well not being a jeep that woulda never happened haha

Yea it is going to be solid when i finish it. It still needs A LOT of support done.
I really need to get off of my *** and get a stick of tube to finish it and i have the 1/2" plate just need to cut and weld it in. I was also thinking about making some sort of skit plate that attaches to it with some 1/4" steel, but most likely not.
