Got some steel today, stubby bumper build is on tomorrow. I still need to order mounts, but I'll try to get my d ring tabs mad up, and get some good measurements, maybe even cut the bumper to length.

I relocated my horns to a couple free spots under the hood, and got some good measurements for my bumper today, here's the bumper I'm making it out of, I had a piece of plate to make d ring tabs, but I left it laying on my tire, so now it's laying in my grandpas yard, I'll get it later.

Wheeled a little yesterday, I'm gonna have to cut and fold the pinch seam in the front wheel wells, I née to take my swaybar off cause the tires run it, but I don't want my 150 dollar discos to go completely to waste.
The pic of my buddy standing in a hole was where I was stuck for a minute, I was chunked and the crossmember was on the ground, I turned the wheels lock to lock and floored it, and she came right out.

Got my steering box spacer, started to install it, I can tell all 3 bolts are gonna brake, so I'm gonna try to find a Durango steering box by Saturday, and get the spacer, box, and bumper brackets on, and get the bumper fabbed, and tacked together by the end of the day Saturday, take it off and burn it together Sunday, and have it ready to drive to work Monday. If anybody local has a Durango box, I'll buy it.

They were long enough, but I just laid them in under the hood where the wires would reach, so I had to make up some ground tails, I just used sta-Kon forks and some #12 wire and bonded to a couple of the bolts that hold the header panel on. I will move them to a better spot, and extend the wires later, but for now it works. I'll take a pic tomorrow if I remember.

I'm just trying to figure out where and how to move my vacuum ball and the horns because I want to order an L&L fab bumper soon but I want to relocate everything before it gets to me.
