Steel Bumper

[KevinJosi]

Busted this out in about 5 hours. Still needs mounted and painted. I haven't decided what I want to do for tow hooks. Im going to box in the unibody while I have it apart, eventually Im going to do a leaf sprung SAS, I'd like to use Toyota axles.

I like the basic look to it. Are you going to make a spot for fog lights and or a winch?

 

[KevinJosi]

Im going to put a stinger on for a winch. Probably put a light bar in the middle.

Painted and mounted. I used u-bolts from a friends log truck. They go through the bumper, into a spacer and through the unibody. They have back plates that the nuts and washers press against. I made brackets that attach the corners too.

Would it be possible to cut out the bottom part of the grill so you could have a flat across bumper rather than what you have fabbed? I like the idea but not sure how it would work out, or if possible at all.

You could cut out part of the grill, but you will have overheating problems most likely due to lack of air flow through the radiator.

toyota axle probrably wont work
most toyotas are Passanger Side Axles... The Jeep Is Drive Side Input

Its possible but I don't think it would look good.

I also relocated the window washer reservoir under the hood. Its stock location in a joke.

Would you be able to put a grille on from an 05 model where the grill is flat? Then make the bumper only curve up once it is at the fender flares?

I like this look, good job.
