Well we got Matt's bumper installed today, only took 8 hours...

We spent the morning trying to figure out how to make use of his right frame mounts. Somewhere along the way someone hit his towhook into something, the middle bolting position was smashed up over an inch, and the rear one was pulled down about an inch. First we attempted to draw the middle down with a bolt and pound the rear up. Let me just say LMAO year right. Next we went down the street to the frame straightener heshe guru, but she could couldn't do it today. Finally, after chaining his KJ to a tree and ramming it a few times, we got it to where each was only deformed by 1/2" and we got it on. Then came wiring, assembly, trimming, hemming, hawing, photos, and finally, wishing he had brought his gas tank skid so he wouldn't have to do it all again when he gets home. :grim:

It came out pretty well, considering the few parts we ran short of, ruined, or plain weren't ready yet. :banghead:

I'll have to leave it to him to post pictures though, its his KJ, after all. :goink:

Been a little busy this weekend with family and graduation, but I'll take some pics of the new bumper and post them up tomorrow. All I can say for now is that Chip really outdid himself with this bumper. It absolutely rocks. Thanks Chip!

You're every bit welcome. Thank you for being so patient and willing to work with me. I still need to get my list together, probably tomorrow when I'm bored (at work). Don't worry about hurrying pictures for my benefit, I've still got a ways to go before I can satisfy additional customers anyway.

Well I'm making some minor changes, most of which hopefully make the bumper cheaper to build (and buy) while not making noticable changes to the end user. I'm hoping to have prototype #2 done and installed on MY jeep in about 5-6 weeks, we'll see.

I thought physical therapy was supposed to reduce the pain....man, my back hasn't hurt this bad in a while.... :banghead:

Seriously, I know in the beginning it will hurt as they start stretching/moving muscles around, but daaaannnggg!!!!
Oh, do not weld at all without a helmet, even quicky blind tack welds to hold it in place till you can finish job..... my face is on fire!! :banghead:

On one of my many "physical therapy" trips for my shoulders and neck they redislocated my right shoulder, boy that was fun :SOMBRERO:

Flash burns are even more fun, I hope ya didn't get your eyes :banghead:

Aloe should help your face, it's just a real bad sunburn :SOMBRERO:

Still stinks bad though, I feel for ya :banghead:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Tue Jun 22, 2010 12:14 pm

yeah, had therapy on my shoulder few years ago.... the very last day was the worst I had over the 4 months, guess she pushed it trying to recheck my change of motion.
No flash burns in the eyes, did get that from my arc welder once, not fun. I did aloe my face up this morning... won't be doing that again!!!!

When I started welding I knew about flash, but didn't think about the people around me welding. I spent three days with patches on my eyes from how badly my partners had flashed me.

The good old days...

The best thing to help with getting flashed is to throw beads

Ok, I was able to snap a few pictures today of the bumper. I still have to install the lights so more pictures will be up after this weekend when I've completed that piece.

matt that thing looks good.... chip you out did yourself

Boiler · **Posted:** Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:26 pm

Matt, that tire looks HUGE. Got the fisheye on? :lol:

The bumper looks so much smaller than I remember in those pictures. I got Tony's pics today, I'll probably post some here after I take care of some shipping.
