Default JK Tube front bumper

The time has come where I need to replace the stock bumper with something a little sturdier.

I have my heart set on a tube/prerunner style bumper. I know there are bumpers already available but they tend to have too much of a forward slant for my and our law makers liking.

I have a design in mind but I don't have the equipment or the time to teach myself how to make one.

What I need is someone in the Northern Rivers to Brisbane area who has decent bending and welding skills to fab one for me.

If you or you know someone who can then post, even with images of your/their work would be great.

Cheers
Joe.

Armie Barbie got her rol cage all bent and welded up by a guy in Brissy, but I cant remember who it was off the top of my head - maybe Bud's Customs?

Yeah I spoke to Bud sometime ago about the idea but he didn't seem too keen and didn't like the idea of a tube bumper on a JK. Was also around the time he was going to release a JK stubby

Well this is what I ended up with and very happy with how it looks


Had it made by Brent and his son Craig at http://www.wizardperformance.com.au/home

Very professional and know their stuff.
Also sell, service and re-valve Fox shocks if anyone is interested.
