this is for a TJ, there's no shackle.

Should have went outside and looked under there.  That shows me for slacking.  Hopefully Griffith Welding in San Jacinto won't charge me too much, but I'll have to wait until after pay day now.

Once it´s trimmed it should work well and give you a good strong bumper attachment.

this one is fine, i don't think it would restrict the shackle movement, that gusset would be farther away from the shackle once is tucked in there


the other one is longer and cannot be installed on the YJ, that's all i was saying.

Just picked up the bumper.  Robert did a great job.

I'll have more pictures after I paint and install it this weekend.  Robert said he's almost positive I won't need the reinforcements.  I'm going to load up some weight and test it out.  Worse case, I'll need to have them welded on.

If I was ddoing it I'd just weld it in, You don't need a 100% perimeter
weld, just jack by the frame and unhook the bottom of the rear shackle
and rotate it out of the way....

Your not close enough to hurt the fuel tank... Why drop it?

Yeah, you're right.  I was just frustrated.  Guess it couldn't hurt, might as well.

Welding should work fine.  It will be welded behind the shackle so it is not a part of the frame that has to hold up a lot of weight.  Pretty safe spot to weld.

My friends helping me prime and paint the bumper and just got the brackets welded on by Steve at Griffith Welding in San Jacinto.  Should have the black paint on by today's or tomorrow's end.

It looks good.  It should work well with the stock shacles but you might need to trim it a bit if you later get boomerang shackles without the narrower central part.  With the stock shackles you will also most likely not have any hitting with the under-frame bolt head but you would with boomerang shackles.
