Pshhh! Dude if that's what you think I'll be more than happy to sell you every piece of scrap metal I own. LOL. Let's see, $0.30 per pound so for example it cost me a whooping $6.00 to do the tubing on the rock sliders. For roughly $120.00 total I built both front and rear bumper and had metal left over. Research pal research.

How bout a pic of your rig? Everyone gets to have an opinion which is fine with me and I don't get upset at all about what someone else thinks but I'd just like to see your expertise. Did you happen to read what my signature says. It's a true story. LOL.

This is incredibly true. We all have our own taste on how we think our rigs should look. Like I told Rich in an earlier post, I have my opinion on the bumper and gave him some ideas IF he decides to trim it up. If not, then that's okay, because it's HIS rig. And honestly, it's a friggin' awesome looking rig!

Rich,

They all come out of the woodwork sooner or later.
Hey, got paint flying yet ?
You inspired me to get off my ***, so I did some welding on the other "New Project" last night.
Only till 11PM though.
Got the R floor and body patch burned in.
Running low on Gas for the Mig, ran out of .030 wire AAARRRGGGGHHH !!
Just as I got rolling.
Will post update pics on my thread at and of weekend.
Wedding anniversary this weekend, so only get to work on the Jeep 1 day.

By the way this is me waiting patiently for the end result.

Nitro Out
