found this on ebay. just wanted some feed back on it. I'm not really sure of the way its setup and if its structural strength would be ok.

Looks good, I was going to bid on it a few days ago but I thought "god damnit, I'll pull up next to Jaffa and it will just look lame!"

Yeah it is a good one.....I want to go all-out with mine however, at least a full bumper replacement with a jerrycan holder aswell.
I'll bide my time, eventually one will magically appear

Build it and they will come.
Hopefully with money and orders for you to build more. $$$$$$$$$

Anyone on the board win this? I wouldn't mind some closer pictures of how it mounts to the bumper bar. I think it looks a lot better with a the factory bumper still on.

That is a good design, and doesn't look too heavy..would luv to know what steel is used.....so far been reluctant to build one
out of heavy mild steel....would like to use somthing like 4140 steel, but i'm a bit unsure of welding it with a mig...
I'm also a bit uneasy with the one pivot point...i feel it needs some holding attachment at the upper end?

1 point should enuf... mine has held up to some sami-serious bashing this far and is showing no signs of stress (running 14" Wrangler and 20L of fuel)
