Tho at sumbitch in ayer!
I would weld some expanded metal to the top of your rear bumper for standing on when things are muddy/slippery, or add some traction strips.
beautiful 70 bull. Keep up the good work!
Curious, as I've been pondering front bumper ideas for my 70 as well, how your attachment points to the frame horns work?
I'm thinking of extending the horns on mine a few inches so there's something decent to bolt to, stock there's only a couple inches there, and it's tough to get much more than a couple bolts per side, and those have to be very close together....
( unless mine are shorter than stock, could be, the p.o. was a dumbass)
I like your front bumper design btw, when I get around to it, I plan to build something similar, angular bumpers like yours and arb's just look better on 70's than tube ones.
cheers,
ryan

Nice build so far, I love your 70. Very nice work on those bumpers too, very clean and they look stout. Keep up the good work 
What ever happened to the end of this?
Would have been nice to have seen the end product. Also, opinions on drivability/wheeling when it was all done with gear changes and such. Why did it get sold? Wife not happy after it was all done?
I think he decided to downsize the cruiser fleet. Here's the for sale thread.https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/260297-bj70-sale-trade.html
His asking price was quite reasonable, considering the basic condition and all the goodies. It sold quickly.

Bull's BJ70 was purchased by Hltoppr on Exped Portal.
Thanks for the update
Horton is alive and well in Flagstaff, Arizona.
I haven't done much, as Bull really had it well prepped when I got it.
Recent changes included going to a set of 33x10.5R15 BFG All Terrains, Factory Snorkel and airbox, National Luna dual battery system w/new DieHard Platinum batteries, and a 2m/70cm Yaesu radio.
It's been down through Baja a couple of times, and has recently been serving duty with our local SAR team, being as with the lockers and Konig chains on the tires, it hasn't been stopped yet.
Next up is a synthetic line for the winch, possible ARB commercial bumper and rear tire carrier....

You guys make it sound like I abused the s*** out of it..I gave birth and loved it more than anyone!!!
I'm guessing that everybody means that they are glad that it moved on to someone else that will continue to take care of it.

You're correct.
