Its a two part epoxy that I spray through a shutz gun. Leaves a mild finish..

Ok you have to name the back one now too!

Let's see just off the top of my head:

The Fat Ass,

Kiss My Ass,

The Big Butt Bumper Or just Big Butt,

The Rear Admiral (stupid Navy Joke)

Get Bent Bumper or just Get Bent

6 O'clock or watch my 6 (I know, I'm reaching here)

Terrain Traveller

Tactical Torso

Road Kill ( if anyone hits you from behind)

I'll think of better ones, let me know which way you're leaning.

let me sleep on it. I'll come up with something good and less cheesy.


EDIT:
As I say that, Defender comes to mind, but it reminds me of land rovers.

EDIT 2: The GRUNT: Marine infantry term. They carry their load everywhere they and still are able to fight. Sounds less awesome now that I wrote it down. Will keep thinking.

EDIT 3: Krawler Hawler (hauler)

EDIT 4: The Trojan (in keeping with with the Greek theme and a double entendre because it protects you from getting rammed in the rear )

bumpers look sick J!!! And I thought of something... you should add cut-outs for small LEDs in the front between the D-ring holders and the winch plate. I actually saw it on a Jeep (sssshhh I didn't say that word) bumper this weekend in Carmel, CA. Was just two small, 4 LED square lights that looked good. Simple and elegant design and very functional.

Thanks G,

I'm trying to find a vendor that supplies a quality product at a reasonable price that buyers can "add-on" to their order. Great minds...

The above front bumper has enough room under the bar to mount 4- 6" lights with ease or up to a 32" LED light bar...

Thanks K, I'll be getting started on another 60 rear today and an 80 rear soon... I told the wife, that Sat or Sun were going to turn back into a Goss day (with reason) for a bit... Or I need to spend an hour or so each day through out the week to get some things done.

Want to get the rest of the rust repair done, finishing sanding/bodwork and get primer down..SOON...

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Took some time for ME today and will tomorrow and maybe even MONDAY as well... I received my AC compressor last night and started on the mounting bracket. Got most of the measurements transferred and fabbed out. I think I can use the current alternator bracket for a template and design a new one as well...

[TRAIL TAILOR]

AND MORE OF COURSE....

Mike, the last pic is of yours (notice BOOTS on the table)....... Send me a PS pic into the motor... It should be the same as mine.... I'll fit everything up and make changes as needed..

PM me your addy as well.....

J, Here's some pics I already have on the web. These are earlier pics but it hasn't changed much. The intercooler piping will be in the way but I was going to have to change that to get an ac compressor in there anyways so that can be moved. I'm running a GM CS144 alternator. I can get better pics of specific spots, just let me know.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Intercooler pipe will just need 1- 45 put in it, depending on how "flexy" your flex coupling is at the IC..

PM'd you mock up lines...
