He wants to weld it off the Jeep anyways since he isn't too sure he can weld upside down anyways, this way I'm half done with taking it off.

I think he just didn't realize how much space there is above the pipes, or he just doesn't want to get slag all over himself.

I think it's, like i said above, he doesn't realize how much space there is above the pipes so he thinks it would be too difficult. I'll have him actually look at it when he gets the welder fixed.

Why not just take it to a muffler shop and give the guy $20 to weld it up?

I assume you're asking about the bumper and not just the bull bar?

I've always liked Smittybilt's bumper designs. I've never seen them in person, but I'm a fan of the style.
