Bumper remodel in progress

[LandCruiserPhil]

Its a start....I cut the outside tubing off my front SLEE, I have some more cleaning up to do but Im liking the cleaner look so far.

I purchased a 4x4 Labs bumper kit a couple month ago to replace the rear SLEE. Now that my rear SLEE has found a new home on another CSC members cruiser its time to get my 4x4 labs bumper under way.

Today I spent a little time and prep the rear by cutting off the rear cross member. My goal is to have it a 100% by the weekend We will see

It looks really nice, Phil. I like the no bumper look, myself.

Is this the stuff that's in the way all the time in Kevin's shop?

It is good to hack nonessential junk off, like part of the frame!

Looking good Phil - Im partial to the clean bumper look myself


Who got your rear bumper?

That Slee bumper looks really good with the extra tubing removed.

I ended my black phase and sold all my black vehicles.

Thanks, I'm really liking it and I think it made it faster

I spent the end of the week looking at just sitting on the 80. Saturday I tacked it all together and looked at it some more. Sunday Saddletramp and his son helped me pull it off. Thanks! Im about 90% done welding and will finish later today.

Next week Im off to Tools to grind off all my bugger welds. I tried harder on the welds you will see(pictured). So far I pleased with the results and look forward to testing.

You are a photochop master to make them look that good!

 

[Saddletramp]

If I had known your welds would look that good I would have bought some sliders to you. The bumper looks terrific by the way, you have a great eye for detail.

I had my wife help me take the bumper off the table and she now hates me again. I hope her back feels better soon, Im getting hungry.

Medtro was kind enough to drop what he was doing to help move the bumper around and mount it back on the 80. I offered the gun to him to lay down some final welds (pictured) he had never welded before. Good thing Tools has good grinders.
