No problem man 😂 my wallet isn’t happy I made this channel!
im a big fan of tubular bumpers over the plate steel style. theyre lighter, stronger and look better in my opinion. i have a OR fab tubular bumper going on my XJ build

I agree! The Smittybilt bumper was good to me but I wanted to update the look of the jeep and also put the jeep on a diet 😬. I think the tube style is my go to for the truck too I really like how they look.

Where did you get the OR Fab tube bumper?
The bumper tie in brackets that you used make me feel better about my own DIY tie in brackets I made for my bumper. I used 1/4" flat steel, and my bumper is 3/16" 2x4" square tube so it should be pretty stout in comparison to the Barnes stuff you used. I was worried I didn't build it enough.

@@2AOverland Do you feel the bumper tubes on each end adequately protect the lower front portion of the header panel? In the video, it appears that the tubes on the bumper ends are a little shorter than the width of the header panel on the jeep. Any close calls?
I always felt like the 4 door JK was just a modern version of the XJ.
The xj is coming along. I vote for a 97+ front end or the original headlights!

I’ve thought about it! If I got 97+ I would need the fenders to match and then the hatch would look out of place and I would need to replace that too lol
That looks awesome! I wonder if those conversation plates and bumper would work for a ZJ?

Hi. Do you feel that the bumper tubes on each end adequately protect the lower front corner of the header panel? In the video, it appears that the tubes on the bumpers are a little shorter than the width of the header panel on the jeep. Any close calls on damaging those corners?
@2AOverland

I’ve had zero issues with my header panel since running this bumper! I feel it’s adequately protected and if it gets damaged then it would be at a weird angle or situation
The stock bumper was pulled off. It ripped the bolt holes on the passenger side. How do I fix that?
@2AOverland

Thanks for watching! A set of weld on unibody stiffeners would be your best bet to fix those holes
Hows the front bumper brackets holding up? Have you used a winch on it yet?

Zero issues so far but unfortunately I still don’t have a winch hooked up to test them
Damm that looks awesome dude I was always a fan of the xj that thing is in a class by it self … I have a Jeep jk and I have the rear Pritchett canyon bumper and I looking to match the front with the same my question is how much does this bumper weights thanks
@2AOverland
Жыл бұрын
Thanks man I appreciate it! 😊 Im sorry I don’t remember the exact weight but I want to say the entire bumper weighs about 50-75lbs 😬 it’s light enough to easily install by yourself and was about 1/3 to 1/4 the weight of my previous Smittybilt bumper.
