got about 3/4 of my new rear bumper done. Still have some grinding to do as well as some more welding and painting. But for my first bumper i have ever built i think i did alright. I still have to plasma cut a hole in the bumper for a d-ring holder and make a d-ring holder.
Beginning of mock up:

Looking GOOD man!

Thanks Alan, been very busy on her the last couple weeks. Did body armor on the rear quarters as well.

Sweet! Rear body armor was next on my XJ list...

Thanks, it's definitely been fun getting used to my new welder! Pic of the body armor, still want to add are rock type tube towards the top of it.

Nice. I agree with the tube up top. Did you get a bender too?

No, I wish! I'm going to have to take tube to a local shop to have it done. I called Andrew, just waiting for him to call me back.

Looking good!

Thanks Bob

Got my quarter panel sliders bent and done! Thanks and props to zjjamie for the help!

Very nice... that wil DEFINATELY help keep the shopping carts from banging into the side of your station wagon and scratching the paint. Love it!

Lol thanks Alan! Those would be some seriously tall shopping carts
