no comments, this board sucks. at least at the PBB I get, that looks like sh!t! or that'll fold in half. Something is better than nothing

Yahh the CJ board gets 0 traffic here. I really like whats you've done with the front end of your CJ. Actually I think I'm going to copy part of it when I do my tube fender/front bumper project soon. I definately like the three tubes surounding the grill instead of the more common one piece bent around

I'm not a big fan of the front stinger but I do like the rest of it.
As Patriot said this board see's very little traffic.
Look at my post for engine swap ideas there's only like 4 or 5 opinions. It's been on here quite a while.

Looks good!!!

Nice job.

That's very close to what I had in mind but I want to tie some tube fenders into it.

Keep us posted when it's finished.

I wanted to but I had a width problem at the base. I wanted it over the frame rails and I have my tow bar tabs welded on and the lights to deal with. So Since I didn't want it too square I did it this way. It actually gives me about 6" of clearence going from the stinger to the windsheild frame. It may or not protect it with the windsheild down. But oh well.

Thanks for the complimants

I finally got the fairlead mount finished and added a bull ring. Right now it's off the rig and primed awaiting a coat of paint tomorrow. I'm thinking of a two tone paint scheme. Grey tubing to match my cage and a black bumper & winch mount.

I also think it looks good, but it may bend back and bash your hood if you nosed up to a tree etc. I would look into tying it into some tube fenders or bracing back to the frame.
