 Topic: Winch bumper for the EaglePosted: Mar/02/2012 at 1:17pm |
Nah, the poor thing was gonna have a boring trailer life! I'm giving her her life back! I've already put almost 4x as many miles on her than the previous owner...which I guess isn't saying much when he put less that 1500 the whole year he owned it. Also I had plans of another daily driver Eagle, but neither one so far has been what I'm looking for. We'll see what happens. For now she's being driven. |

Rafe, we need to find you a daily driver so you can keep the miles off that beauty queen.

Just drove this car today. Thanks for stopping by Eaglefreek.
The bumpers look great. Like they were made for the Eagle! Well I guess they were! :) They did make it feel heavy though! |

The rear bumper/spare tire carrier looks great, too! I really like the endcaps on these.

I don't believe I posted it on this site but here is a link to the Nest: http://forums.amceaglenest.com/index.php?topic=35492.0 I've lowered the spare tire 3" since taking the pics in that thread.

When I read the title of this thread, I thought there's no way that can look good on an Eagle. Well, you proved me wrong- that looks great! I especially like the attention taken to mesh the sides with the body lines. Do you have a link to the pics from the rear bumper build?

Bill, I've seen some of your work and would assume you can do it even better than I did. Today I took some time to fix the right side of the bumper. IT WAS BUGGING ME! Before:  I cut it right at the corner and then raised it up with my hydraulic jack:  I cut a piece of steel to fit in the gap:  After welding and grinding:  A little dab of body filler and some sanding and painting and it is fixed:  |

I LIKE! Thanks for posting this with the great pictures!
It's tempting to do that for my SX/4  but suspect I could not come close to that quality appearance. |
