If it's in the same class as the front it's gonna be awesome!! Can't wait to see it.

Well, After a few weeks of brain crushing and many failed design attempts I've come down to this

Thats a sweet design!

 

[DeclansDaddy]

Man, if I still had my second gen I'd say let me get that cardboard when you're done. You know, to recycle and save the earth and shit.

Bumper parts finally all arrived. All steel is here and fab is in progress.

Mil scale removal the easy way... Acid bath.

Bumper teaser...

One side cap all tacked up.
More teasers...

Front support

Destroyed garage... Yes, that is a pipe wrench, a ball peen hammer, and a jack. All necessary fitment tools. Also about 2 pounds of metal dust. :rofl:

Badass

 

[Scalded_Dawg]

Other side all tacked up... Now to pull it off, finish welding, grinding, smoothing transitions and some paint.

THEN... I can start the swing out.

Sweet low profile design! Looking forward to seeing the swing out. You still have the cardboard templates......
I've been messing around with different styles and yours is exactly what I want to do.

Sweet ride OP.

First coat of primer down.

Plan to put this on the truck... Take a couple days away from it and then tackle the swing out.
Already got it sorted out, just need a break.

I don't really venture off into the 2nd gen world but glad I saw your build.

Hows your acc wiring coming along?

Thanks for the kind words... Its been fun putting this all together.
Lots going on right now in prep for a Moab run in May.

Acc wiring? My switch plate is all done if that's what you're referring to... Did I not post about that? I need to update some recent things from my laptop, too much for the phone.

Rear bumper installed. Looks great, now to get the exhaust redone (needed anyway) and complete the swing out.

Mad dash to get stuff accomplished this weekend...
Rear diff guard installed.

More work on the swing out today as well. Down to drilling some holes for the latch and capping the end.
