cuz i am! 8) I was planning on ditching it after i have it lifted and get tires (around June of this year), but an accident has prompted its early death. It had actually come off before and i just loosely re-attatched it on the pegs, but no bolts were going thru it. it seemed to stay fine so i left it. (this was a month or more ago)

Well a few days ago, i was wheeling with some friends. there was one partucuarly muddy ditch we were going thru over and over, i even got a little air one time. then one time i went thru it and it musta snagged on something cuz i drove off twards another mud-pit and one of my friends was like "YO didnt you used to have a bumper?" ... FUCK! we went back and found it, but it was too late for the little guy.

anyways i kinda like how it looks from the front, but the side-view is hideous, eh? I cut off the plastic wheel-well shit thats sticking out in one of these pics below. anyone else rocking the no bumper look, if so, post ur pics!

i've got a friend who can fab me up a tube bumper. but if i did that it would just prolong the wait till i make my junk bigger. I only make about $500-600/month, after all my 'expenses' theres not usually more than 100-150 left for the truck monthly. O well here in a month er two my income will start doubling :lol:

What, exactly, did you expect? Ripping off a plastic bumper that none of us have had for a long time doesn't impress us.. Hell, I don't think we impressed ourselves when we tore ours off either.

It happens.

Build something else to hold a winch or leave it off.

hey, i wasnt impressed either persay, i knew it would happen. i just thought it was funny how i ran it over without knowing it and killed it into about 10-12 pieces.

and god i love it when people call someone a nub, like they just were magically badass at everything and were never 'new' to anything...

you guys are dicks! but thats part of why i like it here, so keep em coming. im getting a good laugh out of all of this so i hope u guys are too :mrgreen:

nah... I'm chopping it to pieces and welding it back together in a manner that I kinda like better. I already chopped the fairlead off as well as most of the wings. I'm going to brace/mod the bottom, weld on some clevis (right term?) mounts and just sorta play with the thing.

Well I have the LA ironed out for now... RE trackbar over axle setup, radiused front amrs and I modded the trilink. Now I just need to brace the skid and it's good for now.

I wasn't running a bumper before I installed the ARB so I was kinda use to a real nice approach angle. The ARB hangs low and I bent it to hell on it's first wheeling trip.

As for the 5150s... I welded the eyes back onto the shocks and now I'm breaking the shafts of the shocks. I think I'm going to run pro-comp's remote resavoir shocks next (funds allowing).


Never ending :twisted:

dear god... buy a bumper.


i've smashed exactly 3 sets of full headlights, side and turn lights, and the header panel. Without a bumper, you will definitly smash the lights or fender corners eventually.

I can vouch for that. That's one of my main reasons for buying them. Not to mention many of the bumpers offer some side protection as well. It's easy to wedge your fenders against a ledge or wall if your Jeep is off camber and leaning down into a hole. A bumper with good light guards helps offer some degree of protection.

Hunter

maybe you're thinking of RacerX (Max), a buddy of mine. He didn't have a front d-shaft for like 8 months. I've had my f/r rear shafts installed 24/7 just incase I need that 4wd for something.
