Talking Homemade Crap...

I was just wanting input from everyone here and seeing what some you you people who have some spare time do with it...

My contribution...



My Fogs in some PVC housing and a three inch pipe clamp...







My Stubby bumper... I didn't make it but a good friend of mine did.



I think that is it for now.....

Post a pic and what it is, relative cost if you can remember.... And don't bother posting if you don't want it stolen... By me......

Bumper is nice and simple

I don't like the lights simply because they look like homemade crap, get some wire loom on and weld a little bracket on your side steps instead of the pipe clamp and then I'd like it. Buy hey it works right!?!

I don't suppse the side steps are home made, but they seem ill fitting. Are they marketed as wrangler sidesteps, or is this a reuse/adaptation from some other vehicle? The combo of stubby bumper & low hanging side steps gives it a split personality.(my opinion, obviously) It would seem that anything you are able to get a tire on thanks to bumper clearance, will hang the jeep up on the rails when you drive over. Has this been a problem? Kudos for reusing the fogs. I may use mine to boost the reverse lighting if my bumper doesn't have room for them. I have a hard time seeing through the tinted soft window with road grime

Talking hey it works

I said homemade crap, not homemade awesome stuff...

The sidesteps are for my short friends until I can get enough cash for some sliders.. It is a work in progress...

The door hinge is so I can get to the foglights easily without spending alot of time....

And it is more light, I don't care how it looks, as long as it works... Besides, when it is dark out and I have light where you don't I don't damage crap

Thanks for the bumper comments, I still have a few things I wanna do to it, but I don't have the welder, and I can't weld, so.....

Then I noticed the door hinge on top and it all made sense.
