Ok...

Long story short, sold the WJ, used the money to pick up a gas saver, and another Jeep...

I picked up this ZJ for $2500

started cutting and hammering Friday.. also started on the bumper and ordered a rim for the spare..
With the new tires I could not turn more than 1/2 turn or they would hit, now lock to lock and lots of room..
anyway, onto the pics

Next up, rear bumper with swing out tire carrier for full sized spare...

So Far, I've got $2950 into it..
 
Great deal! Looks freakin sweet so far! Makes me miss the ZJ I used to have! I'm surprised the tires aren't hitting the charcoal canister though, I had to relocate mine. Nice work on the bumper! :huggy:
 
Depending on your underhood plans you might consider saving that space and flipping the charcoal canister sideways in its current location.
 
for some reason that new bumper almost makes the front of you zj look like a wj... It looks really good!
 
Hello, I'm thinking about doing this type of bumper, and wondered if you had any specs on it? Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.
