Lone Star 4 Poster Bed

Re: Cool Blue Lens...

Jeep Cherokee Pipe Bumper

I built a pipe bumper with towhooks for my Jeep. I used 2 1/2" Sch.40 for the build, 1/4" plate for the sideplates, padeyes, brackets and trim pieces. The project took only 1 weekend plus an additional hour for paint. I used my 1984 Miller Bluestar AC/DC gas stick machine, torch and basic ...
