LOL, "be prepared for attention anywhere with this thing" Take a look at it, I suspect the attention he mentions is something akin to the old saying "they're not laughing _with_ you".
Looks like he ran into a jungle gym... Hope the kids are ok..

Jeep's "Brokeback Mountain Edition"?
Ok the asshatt spent how much money on all that crap and it doesn't even have a lift... if you want a low rider buy a toy...
Stupendous Man did pass the time by typing:
As yet another perfect example of why you should NEVER let your brother in law, the pipe fitter smoke weed and then offer to help you build a brush guard.

How the hell would you open the bonnet ? Or hood as you call it ? That ugly
3Ks worth of scrap scaffold pole must weigh a ton - look at the difference between the front and rear wheel arches. Shame to think that actual cash changed hands.Dave
Look at the front horizontal bar, just above the headlights. It appears to have a pivot or joint of some sort to allow it to swing forward and give access to the hood (isn't a bonnet a pioneer ladies hat? HA) I am sure that was an expensive addition to the vehicle, it does look professionally finished.. But it seems really dumb to A) pay that much for that work, and B) to make a nose cone for a jeep that never sees dirt, and C) not put the money into a roll cage and lift
It looks as though it has slip-joints on the inner attachments (sure to rattle if it ever found a dirt alley), and some kind of disconnect latches on the outer tubes so it can pivot up and forward. I can't see any use for it going over the good, and this from a guy who has built a full guard and risers to protect the windshield from branches,
And the thing ain't even unique! I saw the exact same fugly thing on another jeep in a magazine.

No freaking way! You mean there are TWO idiots out there that would put that on a Jeep.
*sigh* That's a darn shame. Was it on the Joke pages or was it just an article?KJK
It was in a "readers rigs" section of a magazine. It's at a friends house at the moment, and I can't recall the name or issue # :(

Of course at, 2800 dollars there's going to sell those ridiculous contraptions to every sucker that's willing to buy one.
Geeze, at that price, maybe I should get hubs to start making some.
