Kudos on the fab work. If it works for you, then that's all that matters. Just make sure those future D-rings are solid. I've got a similar idea using square tube that i have laying around. Some curvature will be incorporated and I'll be cutting out that useless rocker guard or w/e you call it that is behind the rear wheels.

Oh...and make sure you get rid of those C-clamps.

Be sure to update as you go.

 

Thanks whitenuckle, I have admired the fab work you did on your front bumper that thing looks awesome. I have future plans to make something similar but probably without a winch mount.

 

Thanks! Keep at it. I'm sure people would like to see your variant.

 

Your see through bumper is Da Bomb.

 

I bet that bumper makes it really easy to climb into the bed. Its a dual purpose step and bumper combo.

 

^^^ it deffinately does make it easier to get in the bed. Even with the tailgate down you can step on the bumper and then get up to the bed.

 

$400 for a JY rear bumper? Does a stealership own that JY? A new one can be had for that. I sanded my chrome one and painted black because I wanted to get out of paying $300 for a new one....

 

^^^ I know it is ridiculous pricing isn't it. Unfortunately in the great country of Canada Ontario to be more specific, parts are stupid expensive compared to the u.s. Usually twice the price for some reason. On top of that its like finding the holey Grail to come across a chrome bumper that doesn't have rust holes. Then to find a painted sport bumper is even rarer, so the scrap yard charged accordingly.

 

Different for sure , looks good ...nice work !
