Hi All - Well it took some time but the bumper "mounting base" is completed and installed. I will be putting the whole jeep back togather later today (baby sitting my 2yo son). Here are some pics. You can see all the pics at

http://www.big808.com/coppermine/
the site needs work but its a start

Image

Image
Went from 6 standard stock size bolts to 4 - 1/2" grade 8s with top plate

Image
the bolt will hold the actual bumper, the hole will hold the changable shackle/hitch. Im thinking of using the smaller size hitch reciever built into the bumper. Hard to explain.


Image
Prepped the uni frame with spray rustolium

Image

Image
I figure this the plate as a huge washer it will not pull out of the thin uni frame

Now I can start working on a bumper thats easilly removable. I may cut the whole bottom of the plastic factory bumper off. Not quite sure yet - More ispiration from then Prerunner style bumper ORM.

Auggy, Rocky and all thanks for looking and commenting. I love doing this stuff, Im just slow tring to get it right by myself. Was a auto mechanic for a few years but Never done this stuff b4.

Note to self - toe in seems open since drop

So its back togather, better then ever. Painted and Sealed, bolted on good with locktight. Finally put the fender liners in. (Not a good idea to leave them out, puts mud in hard to get out of spots (rust will come is my guess).

Actually pulled (not that bad (10 bolts) since I had all the plastic off) the metal painted fender off (dents ok large dings) and a friend of mine Larry saw a guy do it and we unbeliveably got them 90% out, so its $600-1000 body shop, $450 prepainted fender to Hawaii, or put the jeep on jacks, rip it apart myself, add a good friend and a 12 pack later we got it (Good enough for the girls I go out with).

Since a picture is worth 1000 words, heres a few thousand....KjHawaii

That looks like it's coming along REALLY nicely kjhawaii! I wish I had the room to do that kind of work. I also wish I could park my KJ long enough to do that to it.

It's been a real pleasure watching your truck come along.

We think too much a like, you sure we weren't separated at birth!!

Now do that in the back, and make up a bumper with a tire carrier. You will most likely beat me to it, like you did with the front!

Keep going.......yopu are doing well!
