Bumper Parts

I sent over some info to Mud at Mud Pro Metal works, He is bending up my front winch mount and bumper mounts, He is also going to come up a fair lead mount, Should be interesting. May even throw some D hole mounts on there also.

Here are the drawings I sent him.

Here is the what the front hoop bar will look like, It will be mounted to the front face for the bumper mount.

These are just the parts drawings, I will post when I have the whole thing together.

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU CHARGE 2 BULID ME SUM FENDERS LIKE THAT

Thanks for the interest, But I try to only build stuff for my self and I barely have time to do that.

Talk to Rides of Conover they build some really nice ones.

hey mike i like that bumper plate and the cage and fenders too.when i get home i've got to do a coupla projects on mine. i ordered a propane kit,b&m shifter. going to get brandon at rides to cut me a set of beadlocks.might get him to weld them for me not sure if i trust my welding.

 

[burrellsjeep]

Thanks,

Brandon will do you right. You can weld them your self, You just have to check and be sure they seal well as far the weld. But if not he Brandon does good work. He gets his rings cut by Mud, there top notch.

With some help from Kyle I finished up the fenders yesterday in time for a night ride up to Brown Mtn with the family and the jammers.

Here are some pictures from building fenders,

I got the sheet metal all tacked on and ground down ( I hate sheet metal and body work )

I picked up some " Metal Filled Bondo" to help smooth the connection between the sheet metal and tubes, It was my first time deal with it. All in all it turned out good.

Filled and roughly sanded

Just after finale sanding and just before primer.

And here is the finale product, I will get some of shots with both fenders in it, when I get a chance to clean it, it was little muddy last night
(Sorry it fuzzy, Kyle was takin the pictures )

Paint flat black for now (Thats what i had), I may try my hand at matching them to the body color, or at least a semi gloss black.

I am very happy with how they turned out, there by no means show room type fenders, but I didn't intend from them to be.

Well I got it together for the flats this weekend,

Went ahead and mounted the bumper plate, Still have to do the tube work and mount the fair lead mount, but I needed something to get me by for the weekend, I kind like the less is more look.

Both Fenders installed

See Yall Saturday.

 

[lbyota85]

I like that a lot better than the old stuff.

 

[spraypaintman]

cool fenders!

 

[burrellsjeep]

Thanks,

I need to get the tube welded up soon, I looks kinda empty, It does make a nice place to sit

 

[jyaks]

yea, i def agree with the less is more, dont make it too complicated

 

[burrellsjeep]

Had a great time at the flats, Jeep performed well and had no issues

Ran it up the RTI ramp they had on site

It was muddy and slick, Just got it all cleaned up

 

[4LWranglerTJ]

Wow! It looks great. Nice job on those fenders, and on the steering setup, and on the truss, and on the suspension, and on the bumper haha. Looks top notch and obviously works great too.

 

[burrellsjeep]

Thanks its a work in progress.

Good work Mike...

Front Hoop

I am working on the front hoop, Turning out nicely, The angles on the saw are a not enough so I have to cut them by hand with a cut off wheel. I got the hoop tacked on and I am I cutting the spreaders that will brace it back to the top of the bumper.

Here are some pics so far

Here is the angle it will sit at

I will update as I make progress
