EP.30 - CUSTOM FRONT BUMPER DESIGN AND FABRICATION- WJ JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Follow along as I design and build the custom bumper for the WJ project. I started with an idea of what I was looking for. Designed it using Solidworks 3D modeling software and then made multiple prototypes out of wood before cutting steel. I will be offering this bumper in a DIY and finished version soon.

Rather envious of all the tools for design you have on hand to use. Like the computer 3D modeling, mostly the laser cutter for the prototypes. If I was younger I’d come down an apply for a job. I’ve trained with Auto-Cad, certified welder since 1973, pipe fitter welder for 20 years, Carrier Corp Engineering, Research and Development as prototype facility lab tech. Now I’m 67 yrs old retired.
Like all you are designing, great craftsmanship and final products.
Thank you so much.
This is by far my favourite wj front bar I’ve seen. Looks simple yet aggressive and not too in your face at the same time. Nice work man.
Sweet. Great modifications.
Best looking WJ period!!!!!!!!!
That is a kick ass bumper design!!!
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to Subscribe and click the bell.
Best looking WJ bumper I've seen.
Thank you!
Crazy but amazing and awesome and beautiful
Thank you!
Super travail propre et fonctionnel sans dénaturer le WJ
Thank you. Factory clean look is what I go for.
Así debería producir con calidad de materiales de arrastre ! Y protección a estructuras de los vehículos… con plásticos, es una burla y con costos prohibitivos… adelante!! Felicitaciones 🍀
The headlights and badass front bumper changed the WJ into a different looking beast. Well done
Thank you. Yes it really updated the look.
Best looking wj bumper made
Dude the Jeep is coming out bad ass.
Thank you so much lots of time and hard work.
It is a "BAD ASS BUMPER". I keep coming back to your video.
Thank you so much. We are hoping to start another round of them for sale soon.
@@SpiralDesignWorks My WJ needs a lot of things done to pass it's next state inspection. However these are the things that I would replace to create such a beast as yours. Shocks, control arms, exhaust but then there'a a few others that need attention too, like the radiator, exhaust manifold and the oil pan. But this has been my favorite car, THE MIGHTY JEEP, so here I go.
That’s a bad ass bumper!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing job on the design! And the actual fabrication! Awesome!
Thank you very much!
Probably the best looking Grand Cherokee bumper i've seen!! And HAND made!! Great work!!!
Thank you so much!
Probably the best WJ I’ve ever seen
WOW thanks I really appreciate that.
Looking good, no complaint!
Thank you for watching!
Best Cherokee bumper I’ve seen hands down
Thank you!
Genius fab. Looks sick. Custom aesthetics require customization
Thank you so much.
Fabricators are just something else. Amazing work.
Thank you.
I really like how the winch is so recessed and not sticking way out front where it's more of a weight factor. Great design!
Yes it is tucked in as close and tight as possible. Thanks for watching.
That jeep is sick. The gray and orange go together good.
Thanks for watching. I love the color combo too. It was going out on a limb for me, I am usually a red accent guy. But I am glad I did.
3 year ago i see the vid and make me start thinking about do it to my wj, i think this its the moment to start doing It, i been watching to many ideas but yours Is the Best, thanks for share your work its amazing. Today Is the day, gonna start whit a little thing, and another little thing until give It done
Pd the headlights works ITS brutal i like It to
You're right, that is how you do it. Nice strong Bumper
Thank you!
A 03 WJ owner / lover, here... That is one fantastic looking bumper, it has amazing lines... KUDOS... That is one of the sharpest looking WJs that I have ever seen, it makes me jealous, I have wrenched away on mine, new front end, long arm lift kit... serious steel bumpers... yadi ya...I had to stop the video and go look more closely at mine, with removal of the inner bumper and material you cut away. Only to have complete the video saying and to have you show steps, in the last few minutes... this and this and this [finish with (something like) that's all] I sat deflated in hopes monetarily.
I am capable, but .not. a master fabricator like yourself... no way I could do the finish work as you have done...
Impressive man, it is 'like a highly capable, functional show car'... I sit, I marvel... and dream a little.
We were is such a rush to get on the road for our overlanding trip from Florida to Canada and back that I probably missed some of the final install times. Good luck on your WJ.
I miei complimenti, lavoro molto ben fatto ed assemblaggio ottimo molto bravo👍👍
Thank you!
Great job very well done
Thank you so much.
Work of art. This is a beautiful bumper.
Thank you so much. Makes my day to get this kind of feed back.
I love it I want one for my wj and those headlights are sweet
I should have a second generation design back from my laser guy this week. I cleaned up the design and more self jigging for easy DIY.
I like it, it really looks great, it looks like a cross between a military Hummer and a military Jeep, I really like it, I would like to do that to my Jeep.
Thank you.
Piece of art ,great clean job .In fact this the best job i ever seen. Bravo gentlemen !
Unfortunately i don't live in America, but if i was there i would be your best customer.
Thank you very much!
Really a iron Master. Congratulations. Never seen better projects and execution than yours. TOP five stars.
Wow thank you so much. I really appreciate the feed back.

Your WJ isn’t gold anymore! Your fab work is amazing, love your work.
Thank you.
Best looking bumper I've ever seen!
Thank you so much.
As a jeep owner I like the way you incorporated the 7 slots in the bumper to match the grill 👌
Thank you. I spent a lot of time visually lining up the sides and shapes to make it look correct. Many many wood prototypes.
It turned out amazing
Thank you!
That looks absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing your process. Thumbs Up!
Thank you.
That's an excellent bumper
Thank you so much.
Art in motion.
Absolutely incredible front bumper.

More to come! Thank you.
I love this bumper! Need it in my life.
Amazing work
Thank you so much! lots more to come.
@@SpiralDesignWorks great to hear I watch most of your videos today and I'm amazed by the work. Amazing work on the front and rear fenders as well. I love how the jeep turned out.
That is the finest WJ I've seen! Love that bumper
Thats the nicest bumper I've seen for any rig!

Thanks for watching. Don't forget guys to subscribe and hit the bell! Trying to hit 10k subs this month.
@@SpiralDesignWorks Just because I've named my project "The Rusty Nut" does not mean my memory is rusty too. Oops my wife, what's her name, differs.
Awesome work. Most fabricators don't consider the lines of the vehicle.
very true. to me it all has to flow and look factory.
Your craftsmanship is simply amazing!
Thank you so much.
Merci pour ce super travail
Great fab job, functional and good looking.
Thank you.
I’m from Australia and I’ve had a wj and you have made a great bar mate.
Thank you. When I come to visit I will look you up take me out wheeling.
Excellent job bud !!
amazing job man! That turned out awesome.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I found it on your website currently out of stock but I’ll be waiting and looking. Thank you so much for designing this I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Your channel has given me a lot of great ideas, I love your videos👍🏻
I love the headlight conversion!
Thank you.

Thank you!
Very , very good bumper . Good luck from Polen

nice to see someone making something .most people buy a bolt on and make a big out of it ,i my day we made everything bolt on products were not avalible or way too expensive
yeah it is way more fun and gratifying to make your own unique parts.
@@SpiralDesignWorks build it anyone can buy it !!
That thing is awesome ! Nicest looking WJ bumper I've ever seen !
This sick looking WJ makes me want to have a WJ. And I have a ZJ and WK!
I want one,very nice bumper and the lights just look awesome too ,nice flow
Good job, looks like a lot of work but the finished product looks fantastic
It was! Thanks for watching.
Loved the video
Thank you so much.
I made a WJ bumper for my first attempt at fabrication. This is just a tad bit better than my angle grinder work. Totally jelly
We all have to start somewhere. I am offering a DIY kit again next month for this bumper and a stock headlight version. www.echelondesignworks.com
Very nice!
Thanks!
Very nice job 👍
awesome mate.
Thanks dude.
Amazing content! Your WJ looks great!! I will be indulging in your channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
Damn... Thia thing is best i have seen for a front bumper..
Thank you so much. Lot of thought and hard work was put into the design and revisions to get it right.
I love it I am not a off-roader. But I definitely appreciate your craftsmanship and ingenuity. I have a WJ 2000 straight 6 2 wheel drive. So definitely not capable of going off-road. And since I drive 120 miles a day back and forth to work. I went in a different direction by lowering it with springs and KYB shocks. And after looking at the front end for quite some time I figured that a SRT bumper would fit. I ordered one aftermarket fiberglass just in case it didn't. Well it kind of did but it was about 5 in too wide so I took 5 inches out the middle bonded it back together 😂😂😂 and made a bracket that holds it . Fits great. Added Challenger rims that I got five for 415 bucks . It handles like a sports car. The Challenger rims do not fit. Added adapters in the back I did not mind them poking out an inch or so. But in the front I went to a speed shop and had my new rotors and hubs drilled to take a challenger bolt pattern. So the front is flush.
send me some pics to james@spiraldesignworks.com I have another one sitting here and thinking of streeting it with an LS conversion and twin turbokies.
This is not only a great video but super in-depth!! I’d be curious who didn’t like this as it approaches 100 dislikes....
I love this build, beautiful jeep!!! 👍
Thank you so much. Who knows people are never satisfied. I do all the work plus camera shots, editing etc. I am a one man band so I can only do so much. I don't have a team of editors making everything super professional and polished.
Holy shit! That’s really pretty! Damn she’s really coming along.
Thank you.
Very nice! Looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm absolutely loving your WJ build, I would defiantly buy the DIY kit for the bumper and the headlights, you should also think about making the rear side window hatch you made for sale too!
Thank you so much. Please don't forget to subscribe and share. I am trying to get to 2000 subs this month.
gran trabajo...gracias por compartir..!!!
Thanks for watching.
Your build makes me want to get another WJ. Great job, great video.
They are cheap, v8 and solid axles. Do it!
Fantastic video of a great build! I am just amazed at what y'all built.
Thank you very much!
That thing is so sick
Thank you. I am really happy with the way it is looking these days.
I wish I had your talent I would love to make My 2000 WJ look this cool!
Thank you for the uplifting comment. Good luck on your WJ project
May be the most beautiful thing i ever seen and will ever see for the rest of my life!
Wow! thank you so much. you made my day!
man tradesmen are so underappreciated. This was some amazing shit!
Thank you so much.
Agreed. To many ask how much then crap themselves when they ask how much. It takes so much time, stress, and patience to build stuff. By the way, how much for the fender and bumper you did on this beast.
They don't know shit about it, dont pay atention to stupid people, get the positive
This is such quality craftsmanship. Really awesome to watch it from prototype to fruition.
thank you so much.
I even liked the mocked up wood version of this bumper. Wish I could weld or I'd get this.
Great job, I really like the look. Hell, I'd buy one.
Bumper is now up for sale on my website www.echelondesignworks.com along with the tire carrier.
I have a 2002 jeep grand Cherokee been wanting to do something with it
Your videos are really helpful and inspiring
OMG brother, you have skills!!!!! That looks fabulous. It really gives the Jeep a cool and unique look.
