Its not you... Its a combination of the drivers side body bushing being cracked, wore-out and lower than the passenger side, plus, the bumper is about 1/4" lower on that side at the moment. When I pull the bumper off and finish it, it will be slotted slightly to even stuff out. I made sure I was taking measurements to the frame and bumper from the ground, that way stuff doesnt come out all caddywomp... When it goes back on, it will be even.

Bumper has been done for a week and a half... Been busy as hell, and still am... But here is a pic for you guys, Looks even better in person...

Hopefully going to pick up a 4.10 pig tomorrow, and if I do, Ill toss it in soon. Right now Im focused on a new project, my 89 F250 is getting a 94 IDI turbo and ZF5. Plan is to enjoy the B2 for the summer, and bust into it with some more radical upgrades later on. Ill post some wheeling pics and stuff as I go along though.

I know, its like I ripped off his ideas, but this is the way I was planning before He had even built his... Either way, he get the credit for building them first, lol.

Look's awesome Justin!

Reminds me a lot of the one I built on Grunizzle's Ranger, only better :icon_thumby:

 

[RacinNdrummin]

Thanks!

And holy crap that bumper is damn near exactly the same! Thats weird....

 

[Hahnsb2]

I pretty much based it off of Whitetrash96's bumper.

either way-- its a bada$$ bumper... i like it. that's so the next type bumper i'm gonna build--something closer to the body than mine. but i love mine to

That was a big influnce on mine as well, i just needed to make it bigger to hide the winch behind it.... I guess it was just the path of least resistance, lol.

Went out today and thrashed around at redneck station a bit. Tried like hell to get stuck so I could test out the winch, but the damn thing just bogs right through. The weight of the bumper and winch was just what this thing needed, it evened out everything and now its pretty well balanced. Worked wonders on the flex as well... Not too bad for a cheap CL lift, $15 shocks and skinny track width... And I think there is a bit more in it as well-
