 Re: TJ's 74 Bronco money pitI decided that I needed to build a bumper. I raised the bumper about 3.5 inches and pulled it in to give me a better approach angle. My welding skills (limited) have been put to the test. Here is what I have so far. This project started with a piece of 4 inch c-channel that was built by the previous owner. I had to bend it a little as it wasn't even on both sides. I think it has turned out pretty cool.
