Fabricating a custom front tube bumper for a Jeep Cherokee XJ. Lightweight, high clearance, and sleek design that holds a Badlands winch and Auxbeam Lighting.
Love the build, I’ve contemplated going the tube bumper route and you’ve convinced me. I built one for my old Yukon and love the look over the plate bumpers!
@@machinesinc Gotcha. I can see where that would make it look like one of those douchey angry eye jeep front ends. Still don't love the four pods, but I understand function over aesthetics.
@@machinesinc flex plate bolts maybe ? Mine started ticking might do scorpion racing rollers and see if that helps if not gonna have her rebuild she’ll last another 250k lol
Flex plate bolts did come loose and that’s when I yanked the motor apart 😂 after realizing it was those bolts I went ahead and just tossed new lifters in since I was already there. But yeah no change. But your right could be a dud rocker arm. They all looked fine but who knows

Very cool build Jake. Fab-ing on the vehicle sure makes everything fit well. Thanks for the wheeling shots. Looking forward to more!
Next Sunday look out for a wheeling video!

It’s the move for sure!
Digging the lines. Nice n clean.
@@autocrossratrod thanks!
Clean af boi
👌
Bumper looks sharp. Not digging the four pods on top of the fairlead. I think one on each side of the fairlead in those holes would look good.
Doing the 2 pods it kept making it look like a face. Pods were the eyes and fairlead was the mouth 😂

The angry eye grills are definitely a certain type of special 😂
I can hear the lifter tick 🥲 we can’t escape it lol
It might be Piston slap… or a rounded off cam. This thing got lifters a few thousand miles ago lol
