Eurosonic's Montero 2.5Gen Build Thread

[scrubber3]

I have a logan's winch bumper designed for an xj that I am working on installing this week. Looks like it will be a bit more to do to it than your ARB though. Good thing I landed some scrap steel plates and a welder this weekend. AAANNNNDDDD my Giants won the Super Bowl!! pretty fine weekend for me... Might be getting a winch tomorrow too.

I have already cut those brackets down half way. Probably have to cut another 3-4 inches off though. It's gonna sit high indeed.

Clean simple bumper, I like it.

I got the bumper, welder, an H3 skid plate, and some metal plates for 200 bucks. SCORE!!! Although I did have to weld a couple spots and clean up/ paint the bumper though. I helped the guy strip his xj after he rolled it and he gave me the deal. I gotta do the rear sometime soon. Probably going to just fab up some straight metal bars back there and trim down the bottom of those quarter panels. Anything to help the awful departure angle. Maybe I should start a build thread soon as well. I am still on the fence concerning a body lift. I really think I can get some 34s under it as is. Maybe even a small 35 will fit and not touch much on the trail. I have a snorkel on it's way now.

Very nice looking bumper. I would have wanted one like that but didn't find anything like it when I was first searching. Oh well...

[eurosonic]

Offroader, I came sooo close to getting a bumper like yours. Some fella' was selling one not too far away from me.

Yep. I'm on the fence with the jeep bumper too. O am having no joy an ANY type of ARB under $700. I have half a mind to see if the one for a gen 3 can be fitted. It is one of the lesser expensive ones to buy new. Again, I would be able to use the shop wholesale lic and just add sales tax. So it might be an option.
