Parts for Sale

I'm getting custom bumpers built this week, so my 460 factory parts are for sale. I have a front bumper with hitch pin, rear bumpers, rear tow ball, and swing-away tire carrier. They're posted on http://www.clubgwagen.com/classifieds/parts.php . Email me off-list for photos. Reasonable trades accepted.

Custom Bumper

Here's the URL for the shop making the bumper. There are some pictures of the work in progress on the site, but an explannation is in order. The factory tow ball will be removed and replaced with a class III receiver hitch built into the bumper. There will be two shakle points on the bumper, and the swing-away will hold two Gerry cans in addition to the spare tire. After this is done, I'll save my pennies and eventually get a custom pre-runner style front bumper with a winch. I'll keep you posted on that as well.

P.S. If you are interested in having Jason make a custom bumper for your G, please let him know that I referred you.

Thanks, -B

Looks good, especially the pig!!

Similar to the one I have it looks like. I'll probably add a can mount down the road someday.

What I really liked it the chopeed and bobbed FJ-55!! I've always loved that rig and the changes just make it cooler than ever! Kinda reminds me of G-zilla.

Finished...almost

The bumper and carrier are done. you can see them on the JK Customs webpage:

http://www.jkcustoms.com/latest_projects.htm

All that's left is to remove the old tow ball, and powder coat it black (which will happen today).

Check it out.

BTW, does anyone know the difference between the bumper mounting points on the various G models? Jason is interested in making and selling this bumper for newer 463's.

Thanks,

BRAH
