front bar for tj with a winch

[slinky]

got sick of looking at my city slicker front bar and wanted something a bit harder, to handle a tree or two with out been dinted

so i got some steel and had a go for my self with a ebay welder (the one that every one slags, what do u want for $400 bucks) grinder, and loads of cutting disks

first i took off my bar and seen how much room i needed for the winch(from the grill to the end off the chassis ) as i wanted it nice and small . i just a shit bar i had from a old jeep and cut it down to size, it had a winch plate so i saved some time .

then i cut some bits out as i wanted some shape to it not just a box , and bent the sides in

the old bar was not wide so i add some steel on top to make it stronger and look better ,

then i tack it in place and took it off to weld it , i did some welds on it but had to stop due to foster kids in bed but will do more 2 morrow

and look the welds look fine and its a gas less welders as well. well that what i think see what other say
