Home made rear stinger

[akecj7]

I know that there is already a thread that has another build but I did want to invade on it with my project. Here is what I have done so far,

This is the Solidworks pic of the assembly. I did the tube work in Bend-Tech Pro then took dimensions into Solidworks

I am using the 2" universal bushings from MORE at all four mounting points.

I just finished my bender and will hopfully have tube in the morning when I start bending I will post some more pics. Please I would like your feed back.

I like it.... what did you use to radius the 1/4" plate for the corners????

I've been thinking of doint something like that for awhile and in "awhile"

I had Mayorgas Welding here in Flag bend them. I just gave them a print (from Solidworks) and they bent it for me. The crossmember and upper brackets are made from 3/16.

that looks sweet.... I wonder if I could the same measurments you did to make the stinger mount...
to make a rock crusher gaurd like the poison spider one you have... and have the company you used to bend the bracket.

I designed the entire carrier from looking at PSC and then taking measurements from my CJ. Then I took those and started to design it in Solidworks. From here I took the tube work and inputted it into Bend-Tech Pro for the tube work. My tubeing should have gotten here today so I should be bending by this weekend.

Here are the completed upper mounts fully drilled and mounted, still need to paint but other than that good to go.

Are YJ back frame for mounting bumpers similar to the CJ7??

[ademster]

they are a little different...

[thedon]

They are not even close to the same.
Now a TJ and YJ are almost the same.
