Hi all,
Just put a new bumper on "Bucky" the samurai. We can now hook a towbar to it so we can take him on longer trips now too. It is heavy and I had to take it on and off about 10 times for drilling and fitment. (it only looks slightly crooked because I forgot to close the hood all the way before I took a few pics)
The winch mount may come in handy if/when we need to get that hardcore.
I also just bought 3 wheels ($20) and a cooler rack for the spare tire mount from craigslist. My plan is to try and paint the wheels with a decent automotive urethane paint just for the experience. I priced some powder coat places and it was more than I wanted to pay. I could rattle can the wheels, but want to try "real" paint on something I won't mind messing up too much.
When the wheels are done I hope to get some more capable tires (General Grabber AT2) and go from there.
Here are some pics of the bumper

Thanks
Dave
