It's been a slow week for my bumper construction.
http://muckleroy.com/images/bumper14.jpg
But it is moving forward...
Many many thanks to Detours (http://www.detoursusa.com) for taking the extra time to take all these pictures, transfer them to the computer, then e-mail them out. Truly above and beyond!!!

Recovery points if you don't love them you will.
The top of the bumper hasn't been notched yet.

All the BIG bumper's "D" shackles are big. ;)

This is an image prior to the bottom plates being added.

The other end of the recovery point.

Ok plates all in. Top is notched. This thing is getting close.
You think this is a lot of pictures, wait until I get the bumper, paint it and install it on my Jeep! :lolsign:

Mark; Do you think I have enough room on the side hoops for lights? It looks pretty close. Looks like the light tabs may have to be pretty close to where the side tubes meet the center hoop? Which is fine with me, if you think it makes sense. :thumbsup: BTW, I can see that the tube size you used for the bumper actually "fits" the bump better than my drawing. Those tubes were too small.

Look at how straight those lines are.
ARB bullbar Bumper can kiss my a$$!!! :smiley-finger007: :spank:
Mark; Don't forget. NO to packing up a CAT and YES to giving me a DETOURS sticker, like the one you had on this bumper, but white. If you don't have white that orange red one is ok. I just think the white will show up better.
Just keep your hands on 'TOP' of the desk please.........
Referance, like to see how it shows up...........UPS 'cost' me a few grand last year in damage, FedEx has been excellent to date, all positive reviews!!

Well crap guys. I'm sorry, but I was DOG ASSED tired when I got home, so I took a nap. Just woke up. It's pretty late to be working on the Jeep now (all that cussing, ya know) so I'll tackle it first thing in the morning. Look for the pictures tomorrow afternoon probably.
