I've got the Red Rock 4x4 rear rock rails that attach to the stock bumper now I'm trying to find a bumper that is compatible with the rear rock rails. A bumper that will tie into them. The only one I've found is the Best Top rear bumper. Thanks for any info, Billy

I'm looking to get some rock sliders. I thought about making some but I just don't want to mess with it. I come from a more hard core rock crawling background where I had a dedicated offroad rig. My question is how strong are the body mount rock sliders? I've always used frame mount sliders...

Finally got back to the bumper. I got sick, then my wife decided we needed to redo the school room and house lights. So I had a few interruptions along the way. Mounted the bumper to see how it looks. I still haven't done the 2" receiver yet. I've been thinking about getting it sand blaster...

Work continues... Ran out of metal, then wire, today I ran out of gas. But I've got about half of it welded and the other half tacked. I still have a few more 2" pieces to run across the bottom.

Nope didn't do anything to the jeep while welding. I've never had issues welding on my trucks in the past so I don't see it being a problem. I know some people disconnect their ground battery terminal but I don't think its necessary. Yeah, I'll be chopping the corners. I just figured It...

Worked on the bumper some more today. It's coming along okay so far. It's fairly slow going with the hand grinder though.

That's a smart move. I had some time so I started working on the bumper. I had to go back to the original design. I was going to relocate my license plate to the tail gate but decided against it. Hopefully I will get some more time this week before I go back to work. I also bought steel...

I finally got the bumper pulled off today to get some better measurements for mounting the bumper. I also revised the bumper a bit. Instead of having it taller in the middle where the license plate is I think I am just going to keep the the same height all the way across. I also went down...

I finished the foam core prototype. I made a small change to the slant in the center to make it easier to fab. I think over all it looks okay. Now I need to remove the stock bumper and see how this fits and make any tweaks or changes. Now I need to buy some steel and a whole lot of 4.5"...

I'm doing it myself for sure.

Yes, sir. That is the other one I was looking at. If I had the money I would just buy one or the other but I don't right now. I just bought some foam core to start cutting out the pieces. Are those lights low profile? I really don't like how far out the tail lights stick out. I thought...

Thanks, that a good point.

Here's all the panels separated and laid out flat. I'll print this out and get measurements for each piece to start cutting out the pieces.

That was one of the two that I liked that can't afford. :D I've done some 3D design just for fun but no training or real experience. My plan is to just cut the panels out and make a prototype out of cardboard. Once I get it the way I want it I will use those cardboard plates as templates for...

After looking at all the bumpers out there I have been able to find one that I really like that is affordable to me at this time. So I am thinking of building my own. I've done some fab work in the past but this is a bit more complex than other stuff I've done. The main things I wanted were...

Thanks for the info.

No Max Tow package. I've got some Rubicon wheels I was planning to run with it. So I may need to add a leveling kit to get clearance. I've already got the tires which are 315/70R17. Appreciate the information.

I've got a sport and I am considering doing the rubicon suspension swap. Can I run 35" tires without rubbing? I did a search but couldn't find a definitive answer. Thanks, Billy

Thanks, that's good info.

cool, thanks!
