Yes, I am poor/broke and have not got $20 for a red star. Here is a link for some pics until then: http://www.redneckrecovery.4t.com/photo6.html

Tell me how bad it sucks, you bad-ass bench fabricators.

You suck ass! I would have 4-linked and coil-overed it. And, I would have pulled his spine out of his ass! Biotch...

Not bad. I'm thinking about doing something similar eventually. The only thing different I might do maybe is go clear through the firewall and tie into the internal cage rather than tying it into the fenders (in the back of the engine compartment). With that bumper, what did you do with the vaccuum bottle for the climate controls? Well, then again, doesn't look like you're too concerned with climate controls...

As for the vacuum bottle, or whatever, I'm guessing there wasn't one. This was originally an '86 2.8. I do know that the heater and everything works. The only things we modified were the battery tray and the hood/nose panel where the tubes pass through. This is his daily driver.

not bad, but good luck with those axles holding up if you like wheelspeed.

i like it but i think flanges would be a better way of making the stinger bumper removable instead of the slip fit with through bolts.

although you could do a slip fit and flanges if you get creative.

Yeah, the Jeep's not mine. Do the axles break? Sure, then you fix 'em. The guy's got a Cherokee boneyard. He has wasted the front spiders once, one axle joint, and something's up with his rear locker now. He also broke the plug welds and spun the rear end, chucking the yoke and driveshaft, with 31s. If you have parts, a shop and a lift, its not too bad. But, this was about the bumper.
