ordered some carrier shims last week, so i started screwing around with the front bumper til they get here, not much else to do til i get them. then i get a call this morning and they're back ordered for 2 weeks. ugh. gonna cancel the order and find some somewhere else. here's the bumper though...

added in the filler pieces and then gave it a good once over with a flap disc on my grinder.



still need to add some metal filler or something to make it look smooth. it's growing on me though

thanks yall, i was going for a "homemade ARB" type bumper. it's not done just yet, need to build some sort of stinger for it.

NO! YOU have the same welding cart as me! lol. nothing better than a free welding cart. i would've built my own, but metal is too pricy around here.

i need a stock shim for a 373 8.8 if you have one. i'll have to measure the actual thickness of it. the stock one broke when i was trying to put it back in.

measured the broken shim and it's a hair under 9/32" or .28125....i dont have a digital micrometer, so i'm thinking something around .280? send me 2 or 3 if you dont mind and let me know what you want for them.

I have .277 and .280. In that range. I can send them in small flat rate box. Probably about 8 bucks total shipped.

Yeah sorry been moving all week. Then I spent the day wheeling Rock Ranger and TNT in the gulch at my new place and then shot off 150 rounds with my new gun down there. This was the first day I kinda had off all week. Hope you get them soon.
