Jake, you thinking about building a rear bumper to.

Since this will be used for recovery we need to make sure to include strong frame tie ins and not use just the 6 stock mounting holes for the bumper.

My shrock bumper tow points are attached directly to the frame.  The bumper is welded to the tow points, not the other way (like most others) Jim makes Jeep bumpers, too.

I think its the only bumper that requires the cut and fold on the rear qrt\'s. Its somewhere over 800 for the pair.

The big question is can we fab something that will look like this.

Hopefully I will have a check from my sisters insurance soon.

Any ideas when you wanted to start.
