Post by rstep »

Okay it's time to up grade the front bumper on the Cherokee,What would you do ? Right now I have a 12,000 lb winch to work in to it. I want to know what people want.
I'll post up the whole build here.

Tad has built all my bumpers, and you happen to live right next to him :P

Although I know he is quite busy. But may be time to give it a shot yourself?

I think you stick with the theme that worked well for your bumpers on will e.
Skin on frame to keep the weight down, some side protection at the corners and keep the winch out of the rad air flow.
I'll be doing something similar to put my 8K warn on the Q once we deal with installing the OME suspension.
