View Full Version : Winch guard light bar
blackZZR 04-25-05, 07:46 PM I had Chriss at Rock It Man Fab build me a winch guard/light bar to specs I wanted
I wanted it to be a clean look to go with the clean look of the rock jeep idea
it had to be low, guard the winch motor, not to wide, just wide enuff to guard the motor
not interfere with any of the winch controls
not block any of the stock lighting
look like one piece and not be bent metal
I think he thought I was crazy, but he went to work
we fitted, grinded, welded,refitted, scratched our ......... (public forum) and grinded and refitted again
then after declareing ourselves insane for putting so much time into it, we sent it off to the powder coater.
I have to say the Chris is a perfectionist and it shows, his work is top notch, I am TOTALLY satisfied with the work and the product.
Now As soon as I get the new forum figured out I will post pictures.
Chriss, you rock, Thanks

blackZZR 04-27-05, 10:13 AM Bumper? Why that would be a Rock It Man bumper
you really need to see one of those up close
they are totally boxed in, the d ring mounts are welded front and rear
and the work is reallly nice.
After buying the bumper, I thought about the winch guard and seeing what kinda work he did I went back to him.
Shorty1 04-27-05, 10:40 AM I can tell by the pic how sweet the bumper is. Do you have a link for them?
I'm still a ways off from a new bumper , need to do more work on the suspension, but it is somethig to put on that very long wish list. Are you going this weekend? I would like to take a closer look at it ?

If you are going with the group from MJR, I am sure you will see a bumper like mine, Dukes 69 makes them

The Jeep made you do it. If you dont go for one of those at a great price like that I am gonna get you!

How about a special deliver to Calico rate?
Shorty1 04-27-05, 03:07 PM You heard the man. I have to get one.
Chris /duke69, (I have to clarify as 97JZMH is also Chris.) Are there any of bumpers left? Also are they easy to install ?

We have 3 left. Install is simple, just mounts in the stock location. Shoot me a PM and we'll work out the details.
