Re: TJ's 74 Bronco money pit
I 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.

Re: TJ's 74 Bronco money pit
2 Weeks worth of Sanding, Skim coating and Painting. I think it turned out pretty nice.
FYI, 5 Bottles of Raptor Liner (Tintable), 25 oz of Paint with no binders (Mopar Blue Streak Pearl) , 40 oz of hardener. Raptor Liner "Professional Gun" with adjustable texture settings.

Re: TJ's 74 Bronco money pit
I love it. I have so much time and money into my Bronco, but you would have never known by looking at it. Now it looks as good as it runs.
