like fabrication stuff, what i mean is that you buy the steel already cut/stamped out from them and then you put it together like a kit.. like ik they make bumpers like taht but i cant find just XJ stuff.

I had ten times the usible amount of money when i was 16. Im 25, married (stupid) with two kids. not only do i have less usible money but less time. If i didnt have trouble sleeping i wouldnt get **** done

I have made many of things with a 4in grinder with a cut off wheel and a borrowed welder. check out my bumper(in build page), thats all i used to make it

Then you have more fab equip than i have. start turning stuff out.

I use forums to get most of my ideas. write ups on naxja are good. Or if your reall ambitious get on pirate and check there stuff out. Its amazing just dont ask stupid questions or you will get flamed in a heart beat
