So I finally get my lockers & get them installed (thx kyle). Me & mudslinger83 decide to go test 'em out a bit on some dirt piles behind the shop. The difference is unbelievable & I'm tickled!!
Then Kyle wants to drive & I figure, why not. He's capable & works his butt off for me above & beyond what's req'd. What the heck. Less than 60 seconds later I'm standing behind my Jeep looking at what's left of my bumper & wondering what the crap just happened.
To his credit, we (he) had it patched together & back on the Yeep within an hour. I'm now in the market for a new rear bumper if anybody's got something they wanna move.
Lockers are the shiznit!!!
Check the For Sale forum. I believe B3 concepts has something.
White Rhino fab and B3 Concepts are both capable of building exactly what you want/need at a great price.
Yeah I broke it. But it was cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never seen a bumper that thin and made out of aluminum.
Strange...I thought that the custom bumpers were not suppose to break. Maybe just bend when you hit a tree (Pete), but not break.
it is one of those bolt on look cool mall crawler thin tubes black powedercoated overpriced oversized thin walled double tubed do nuttin but break and stank bumpers
time for an upgrade - lot of options for the the TJ
lockers rule btw!

Yeah, well... the "custom" part came after the break. Got any connections with a real custom bumper builder type person?

You nailed it! I've never seen such sloppy weak construction. I'm glad I figgered it out now though, instead of when some soccer mom in a Tahoe on a cell phone rear ends me & totals the whole back half!

We're going to the off-road park in Fulton Saturday to put 'er to the test (
