I bought an old salvaged jeep and did the body over as a project for the
winter/spring. Just finished it up but it was missing something, it just
didn't look "jeepy" enough. Too nice and generic looking so I
decided a grille guard and lights would be cool looking and functional as
well. I
have a friend who operates a computerized steel laser cutter so I faxed over
a drawing
and specs so he could cut the side plates (out of .375" steel plate) I used
various sizes of square
stock for cross pieces (bought them out of the discounted scrap bin pile). I
think it looks good. Here's are two pics, one of the tacked up project and
one of the finished product. I wouldn't want to run out in front of this
thing!
