Well, good for you for getting something you're happy with. I'm not sure I understand the point of that thing, but I'm glad you're :cheer:

My truck is a little longer than a jeep and I've been having problems with smashing the rear end into trees and things. So with some steel tubing back there it'll keep from smashing in the rear plastic bumper. Since there are no after market options for a rear end I had something fabbed up. :allrighty:

:drool: Great job Eric

Why didn't he just fab up a new bumper?

michaeljr5

Cost, material and weight limitations. Not to mention this will flow nicely into the rock sliders when I get them done.

I like how it goes over the stock bumper, good bonus if you ever sell it to someone who doesn't offroad.

Sounds like your'e getting somewhere. BTW, what's the latest count of vehicles on the property? Last I heard, it was 23.
25 tonight! By Thursday it should be down to 19!
:laugh:
I have a total of 9 axles on my property. I thought that was bad.

Hoo-rah! The Monty is now back in my garage. The rear bumper looks absolutely AWESOME! Eric and Holeproof did an amazing job! :allrighty: I PMd him to see if he had any pictures of the finished product, but if he doesn't could someone come over a take a couple for me?

Well, if some one walked up to me with $17K and offered it to me. I might actually sell her. But that is the only way I would sell her. Wink

holeski

Who has a set of 44s for that price? Is it the complete axles or just the gears?

Nevermind, I just looked. I need driver side drop.
