I was talking to Paul (I think) about bumpers for a 60 series. Here's the link to the guy near Greenville, SC I was telling you about:

Hardline Fabrication Services

Few pictures of the rear bumper build. Local guy/great work.

Looking good. Just out of curiosity, how does it compare to pricing of some of the others out there? I have been thinking of having one built for my 80 and had a guy telling me about a guy here in middle TN that does some custom work.

It looks badass Aaron. Same guy (Zack)who built mine for me Matthew. He does good work.

Heck I thought your rear was a Hannah unit. I guess I never looked at it that close. He does do good work.

It was based off of a Hanna except for the wings on the 1/4's.

Bumper update.

Looks badass!!! Is there gonna be a hi-lift mount?

 

[jawatson33]

Hi-lift, antenna/light mounts, and a detachable basket for a cooler or cans.

If you plan to run hi lift diagonally, watch mounting point location. The base of my hi lift occasionally pivots upwards on trails. I busted tail light on a hard bump.

Here's a pic. Ideally, the mounting bolt would be closer to to the CB antenna tab or maybe have a pin or some C channel to prevent the pivot movement. I do run a 60" jack so a 48" might have better balance.

Update pics on bumper build

Looks awesome. You happy with it?

 

[jynx]

Looks sweet. I need to get some junk out of my garage and save some pennies so I can get something on the hind-end of my 80.

 

[jawatson33]

Ya gonna look good I think. Hope that it doesn't cover the tail lights to much.

 

[RSHARPfzj80]

I need to get him to make me a basket for the ladder too.

Very nice.

Definitely accentuates the gold badge package found on most 98-01 100 series.

Fortunately, I am blessed with same gold badge package.
