cool cool! well i'll make sure i bring the book of lies along with me next weekend, what days are you working on it? lol sounds like when i did my snorkel, it took ages!
lol those pics don't actually justify the full extent of how much welding there was to do either! lets just say it was very very rotten and a lot worse than we thought it was when Karl bought it! that'll teach us for looking over an sj in the dark! :lol:

i will be putting all weekend on it again to do the bumper and get it finished i hope :shock: so pop on in

That looks a realy posh bumper, have you considered puting some recovery point on where the bumper is fixed to the chassis, just sone eyes so you can put some shackles on, they would be nice and strong just there! just a thought!

top noch work! 8-)

That bumper looks something really special. If i had half ur fabrication skills i would be chuffed!
