It will get fancier when I replace the top with a backlit laser cut Land Cruiser logo![]()
Oh man that is pretty. I agree that you need to leave those welds.We are going to the FJ Summit and I decided to take the FZJ80 also, so I had to finish up my bumper project that has been "in process" for way to long (nothing like a deadline to get you off your butt).
Well I finished stage 1 at lest which is the main bumper (swing outs and hitch to follow).
So to finish it up consisted of mostly all the finish welding which was a lot of fun on a hot weekend with temps in the shop in the 90's.
The bumper is all aluminum, I'm gonna add some doubler plates to the shackle points but other than that its done, at this point weighs 39lb. With swing outs and everything my goal is to keep it under 100lb.View attachment 917222 View attachment 917223 View attachment 917224

Thanks!
plan was to only grind if the welds came out crapy. Also I'm just going to leave it raw and scotch brite it once a year. That way I can add to it whenever I want if a tab or bracket is needed. did the same on the roof rack so light mounts and tent brackets can be added whenever.
@DylanICON THAT IS DROP DEAD SEXY!
Damn I gotta learn how to weld! I'm enrolling myself to a program ASAP!
I agree. I looked at those damn lights and liscense plate the whole trip knowing those weren't helping matters.Ridgemaster- It might help to relocate those monster lights out of the airflow path for the radiator
