Very nice work! I love the lines of that bumper, very clean and appropriate to the lines of the truck. One of the best looking ones out there IMO.

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. I sure appreciate it and hope my posts give fellow 80's addicts ideas to build on.

With the exception of the equipment (I now have about anything I need to get the job done) ANYONE that puts their mind to a project can make something like this. Fabbin is a passion to me that is what I chose it as a profession. I'm 32 now and when I was 16 I bought a miller 90 welder and taught myself. I look back to that era at what I made on my 1st 74 FJ40 and I chuckle a bit, but am proud of each and every piece. I did my best an improved each project.

So with that aside I really cant wait to get this rig back out on the trail and have some fun with it. Big tasks like I am doing can be discouraging b/c they are so difficult to see the end.

Regards

Kirk

Looks AWESOME. How are you planning to upgrade your axles? Chromo internals or 60's or nothing or what?

Well I am still in investigative mode on this issue. Have a set of 5.29's for this summer. Hopefully I can swap those in and have some fun while sizing up the best path to take. I cant wait to see georges (tiredirongrb) portals at the april fools event. I have some ideas now about hummer/9 inch or 9inch/toyota or 9inch portaltek etc.
 
I would do the portals using the same technique George used. High dollar, but man are they nice. I have wheeled with him. He has a 2.5" lift, stock arms, and runs the same size tire (he runs Iroks).
