Title: My bumper build
Post by: hwyman on December 28, 2015, 06:35:44 AM

I took some inspiration from BRD HNTR's build
http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/replaced-rear-bumper/ (http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/replaced-rear-bumper/)

I still need to add a couple more brackets to it but I have to wait till the weather and work allows me some time to do anything else

Nice job.  How does the rest of your ride look?

I have done the 2x4 rock sliders on the passenger side and will do the drivers side soon
I don't have any full shot pics yet.

I added some rugged ridge shackle mounts to the rear over the weekend

Are you going to put them up front also?

I got these at an amazing price because they had been returned and I am having the guys at work build me something similar.  I do need to redo the front bumper mounts before I do anything I put a piece of tubing thru the front cross member with the ends capped and taped for bolts and had it all welded in.  I need to tie the front bumper into that as well as the stock bumper mounts

I finally got the electrical gremlin taken care of and was able to take my front bumper into work and have the welders there weld on the shackle mounts and 2" receiver

I need to do some work on the mounting brackets but I think the bumpers are finished
