i wanna sample the market a little bit to help with some designs im working
on. im really curious if you as jeepers would be interested in bumpers that
weld to the frame instead of bolting? what if such a bumper was stronger
than what is currently avialable yet much cheaper? assume the design was
such that you couldnt destroy the bumper if you tried. how about sliders
that also weld on instead of bolt?
thanks,

Anything is possible Nate. I like to weld stuff to my Jeep when I cant
find enough of the same size bolts....

thanks pete. the idea is for adding true structural integrity to the jeep
frame itself.....i just dunno how well it would go over. <sigh>.....maybe
ill just build the mounts for bolting but encourage (or at least suggest)
welding.

Hi Sandman,
Sorry to throw some cold water on your bumper business, but you
know all welds will eventual crack and fail, that is why you're not
allowed to weld to a commercial truck's frame as they all travel well
over a million miles and that is why they are spot inspected every fifty
miles or so as the cross weight stations, and a weld would dead line on
the spot, like the other trucks you see in their parking lot, waiting to
be towed. Should be easy enough to weld brackets to find existing bolts
or holes in the stock TJ frame.
