Re: Post a pic of your offroader/4x4.
New Homebrew front bumper my buddy built for me. It's big enough for a winch when I decide I need/want one. It's beefy enough to where I shouldn't have to worry about much either.
And of course the newest edition to my XJ
It's not the prettiest thing in the world but it should still serve it's purpose and I got it for a steal
This is how my baby looks now. Homebrew front bumper (still needs to be cleaned up and painted, as well as light tabs and d ring shackles welded on). Other mods are a 2" lift in front and 2.5 in rear. 31x10.50 Falken Wildpeak HTs, stock rims, Yakima Loadwarrior roof basket, some audio stuff, and a cb. Feel free to rag on the bumper, you can't beat the price I paid for it!

PM me if you want it fixed and finished correctly without a shitload of $.

I've literally never welded but I'm confident enough in my Youtube tutorial watching ability that I can assure my welds would be better.
I like the concept though I think

If you notice it's not even completely painted yet either, haha. It looks fairly dook right now, but I hit a deer about a month ago (perks of living in the country
) and it tore the fiberglass grill and header panel up. I'd rather not go through breaking all that shit again, so next one I hit shouldn't hurt it too bad. Plus, I like to take it off road every now and then so the added protection is nice. It's supposed to loosely resemble the Warn front winch bumper for a Jeep XJ
but we changed the design a little bit.

As thin as that tubing looks like, it may not add a lot of significant protection... I mean, MAYBE against a deer, and likely against brush in the woods.. but I wouldn't expect a lot out of it. Never the less, it's better than nothing I suppose as far as protecting your grille and radiator.

Dem welds could use some cleaning up.

Re: Post a pic of your offroader/4x4.
Been a long time since posting... Anyone still around?
Samurai is still alive! getting ready to do quite a bit more, just gathering stuff up now for it. wanted to have it done before April... not looking like it though. It's been doing a lot like the pic here recently.
My F250 is running great, towing well and strong as ever! Took it out for some snow play the other day. Sadly, wasn't all that fun. Well, at least compared to the Samurai.
