I just finished grinding off the crush cans, adding d rings(from a Ruggid Ridge bumper), and then sprayed with 1 can of $7 Rocker Guard from Canadian tire!!!!! I love the look of it. Now to put it on the Jeep! And yes i am going to fill the bolt holes and paint them up. still needs another coat but I am loving the look so far.

 

Looks really good buddy! Congrats, nice work.

 

looks good.

 

I've notice with RR and a few other bumpers that they use bolt on plates for recovery points.... anyone ever had any issues with that? I would think they would rip right out with a good jerk. Usually clevis type mounts are welded on

 

I can't believe that you sprayed right over the bird crap that I had left on there for you!
It's a sad, sad day.

Looking good though.

 

Ya I was referring more toward the integrity of the bumper than the bolts... I mean grade 8 and above would be more that effective... just curious... it wasn't until the JKs that I started seeing this so much. Bumper looks great though

 

I am confident that the 4 bolts per shackle will hold. Yes I used grade 8 bolts. So the bumper will rip off the jeep first.thanks for the comments I can't wait to get it on tonight!

 

Those bolts go through the bumper. If you pulled hard enought to cause a failure, the bumper would probably not even be damgaged. Just the frame where it mounts or the bolts.

 

HAHAHA Its on now. Just need the winch next!!!!!

 

yeah, it'll be fine!


Looks good!
