$10... My local brick supply company gave me the brick lintel, it was a scrap piece and they like Jeeps. My next door neighbor works in a metal fab shop and got the plate for me for $10.

Conrad, we usually go to Tellico. Here is a post of my first trip before it was a week old. I'll be heading back soon to try out the new lift and tires.

I really like that. This may change my bumper plans. I was planning something a little more intricate, but this looks really clean and simple, and not too "busy" and complicated like some of the aftermarket offerings we've seen so far. I don't want my bumper to draw attention away from the rest of the
Jeep.


I know you said that you rotated your disco motor up, so you have to flush-mount the winch. Just curious if there is enough space between the fog lights to put a fairlead. I might try to sink my winch. Also, are those the factory fogs or aftermarket?

I'd say a fairlead would fit between the lights, but I haven't bought a winch yet so I don't know for sure. I did re-use the factory fog lights. No problem to relocate, just had to space the mounting back to keep them from sticking through the bumper.

Here is the link where I rotated the sway bar motor.

That looks great. Nice to see a bumper that doesn't cost over $1000. Seems like there are more firefighters here than any other profession. I guess when you only work 10 days a month....

Nice job! I think the d-rings would look pretty cool

ThinkMud

That looks awesome man! I was thinking of fabbing up something similar as well. and much respect to the Firemen out there, my father is a retired Capt. from Roanoke VA. my hat is always off to you guys and gals, risking your life to save the rest of us!

JKFirefighter

Thanks for the hats, but firefighters have it pretty easy, no one's shooting a us. My hats off to anyone going overseas in the military. That's still one hell of a bumper.

ThinkMud

actually that isn't entirely true... once back when the firemen back home wore the blues with the badge, one got shot through the door by a drug dealer thinking he was a cop, but he was only there to inspect... now they just were their t-shirts or sweat shirts. Still a dangerous job that is much needed.

I really tried to do both (sink the winch in and keep the stock lights) but the lights are about 3-4" deep, and the disco is also a limiting factor to going backward.
