Here's a pic of my Cruiser right after I got it and the bumper I am currently building. Go easy on me with the color comments, the PO did it just before I got it.

That is a really nice looking bumper.
As far as the color goes, you know you really love cruisers when you're not afraid to drive a purple one.
awesome rig, Judging by the split hood, is it a 1969?

I love the bumper. Do you mind if I borrow some of your styling cues when I build my bumper?
I'd take a purple Cruiser over "any color" jeep.
Nothing wrong with the color, a good loooking Fj is a good looking Fj reguardless of the color. Like the bumper.
I had a '70 that the PO did the same thing too and painted it Barney purple. To bad it's extinct now.
The bumper looks great, good luck on your build.

Here's another of the bumper build. And one of the custom shift knob I made. Got a pipe bender and lost my welder so the bumper is currently on hold. Getting geared up for the 350 conversion and the paint job. Incase anybody is wondering, I did put a piece of square tubing through the top to give the bumper more support.
To bad u found it 1st, I gotta find one and paint it 4 my gal(she wants pink).
I like how you made that pulling point, ensures there is no failure in welds.
nice vids,now where i can found more pictures on the second 40-buggy??? like that style..any help...

My wife has decided that she likes it purple, but won't mind if I paint it. The pulling points/mounts are made out of 4"X5/8" steel. I just used a drill press for the hole and an angle head grinder with a cutoff wheel. And lots of buffing with an 80 grit flapwheel. Any cruiser fan is welcome to use any part of the bumper design.
Nice looking bumper
