That bumper you made came out awesome. I've been looking for steel bumpers for my wifes 2006Jeep Grand Cherokee but can't find anything. Guess I'm going to buy some more tools. LOL
I don't comment much but just wanted to take the time to say thanks so much for making videos. Hands down my favorite off-road channel. People seem to correct and complain alot here but the mistakes you make are part of why the channel rocks. It isn't a channel claiming to preach the gospel, just the best you can do at the time which is what we're all doing out here! You're great to watch and insanely good and the filming and editing part as well. Better than some ACTUAL off-road shows out there even :) Keep doin what your doin.
Hey man, thank you for making these videos. I am not just a cheap jeep fan , I am a cheap jeep collector. I've had three different grands and three different regular cherokee's and although they have all got plenty of frustrating little traits that can aggravate even the most patient man, their positives ( so far) have consistently overwhelme the negatives in my collection. Like a lot of us, that have children, rent, or even worse house payments ( and the unexpected little emergency repairs that go along with it), car or truck payments, and on and on, for a ton of us, there is nothing left. So if we want ANYTHING we either have to build it ourselves, or just watch others have fun. My problem with my jeeps has been my fear of unibody's, and not having the modern welding equipment that makes life easier when working with them. I have sat down countless times behind the hatch and in front of the hood with some really cool sound ideas that would have been unique, functional, and stout, but every time I get close, I second guess myself, lose confidence, and begin to doubt myself, ESPECIALLY when it comes down to mounting stronger ( heavier) armour to a vehicle made mostly out of a low quality Tin foil. The Last Time I sat staring at my back side, I considered incorporating the same system that you did with yours but again, I pussed out fearing that if I did crunch into something or pulled with it a tiny bit to hard ( not that that could possibly happen) it would basically disintegrate into a perfect Murphy's law exhibit. You have gave me hope where before I had little if any! By God now I am going to finally scab it on there birdshit welds and all haha
I was so turned off on this bumper when it had the tail light parts hanging over but the addition of the triangle flares (done with magic at 17:25:20 - 17:25:21) made all the difference. Those turned out awesome and I want to start welding and then make one just like it for my ZJ.
that's the best looking bumper I've ever seen for a ZJ... all the expensive aftermarket bumpers I've seen aren't nearly as nice as this one... by the end of the video I was gonna ask if you could build me one, then you made it clear why you wouldn't lol... keep up the great work and I'm still loving the cheap Jeep project
i dunno i'd put the rockhard above this one because of how well it blends with the body but this one does look better than quite a few of the bumpers you can buy
How much would it cost to repair a bumper on a jeep grand Cherokee mountain edition or someshit is has little cracks and someone wants me to buy it idk if I should becuse I feel like the bumper replacement will cost like 500$$$ and I cant even find the damn bumper for it
Now that is a real bumper and all you need now is the skid plate under that very vulnerable fuel tank. My Suzuki Sport has the thin skid plate as a standard part , thin being the bad part of the skid plate. great video with good music that is not drowning out conversation as so many others do.
dude you rock! my buddy from work told me about your channel. I have a 98 grand cherokee and want to restore it for cheap hopefully. I am nowhere near as talented as you though. Great work and you gotta subscriber!
I've just come across your channel by chance and saw this video. I gotta say I'm a subscriber! With the great content which you make entertaining and interesting. You also have a calming voice that sounds like you have zero stress. All in all I'm impressed with the video and will be watching more! Thanks for the great content and sharing.
thanx for selling such a high quality bumper for a hundred bux - my order was processed fast and shipped the next day - best hundred i've spent so far on my jeep lol
i really like that you give a time estimate for the project featured in the video ! i never keep track of my hours and sometimes wish i did, but i might be better off not knowing how many thousands of hours i sent working on a $700 xj
just advice for the next guy lock two bolt together, for the rear bumper studs to come out. it'll take some patience, but it can be done. And then soak them in oil, and use a wire brush to remove the crud and then resoak them and good as new haha
wow matt, you really went out of your way with this video, this is what we like to see, long and in depth detailed video . keep up the good work, I would also like to purchase some of your shirts.
Interesting DIY project but a not cheap bumper. The time and labor involved in this project are extraordinary and require expensive tools and skills, the cost of the materials is secondary and incidental. Great video and I love being a witness to it. thanks for sharing the creative process involved. it is a kind of adventure.
Its always amazing what a man can accomplish, when he puts his mind to something. Good job. I think I might sub. I love all these cheap jeep series. I need a plasma too. I just got a welder, never welded in my life. Thanks for the hard work.
It is also nice to extend the bumper out 4 inches from the vehicle, plate the top, and then you create a nice step to stand on to get to the roof rack.
Turned out Great! Ive been wanting to do this for my old toyota but not sure Ill be able to without a plasma cutter. The cuts for the Tow receiver & Tow hooks will be a pain with angle grinder lol :) Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the Video work/editing/music :)
Ahh man, I wish we were buds man, I wrote you about a year ago I think asking if I could pay you to swap my transfer case, but you told me about not wanting to be responsible for like legalities and stuff and what not and I completely understand that my dude. Currently apartment living and lack of space and tools to do alot of what I want to do my ZJ haha. But have worked on it with knowledge and inspiration from your videos over the years man, hell I wish ZJ bumpers weren't soo limited to buy, but I found a TJ front bumper for a $150 bucks, and going to fab that on it soon. Anyways, keep being awesome man.
I would like to build a gas tank with a heavy duty skid plate to protect rear-end explosions Jeeps Biggest problem. Your bumper it a step in the right direction! Thank you. This could help save lives.
With the plasma cutter you could have easily angle cut the 2x6 to match the tailgate better but overall great build man nice to see the cheap jeep videos more
Nicely done. I'm not a fan of the jagged cut along the bottom of the sides, but to each their own. Looks super solid. Wish I still had access to a shop.
A name brand off-road bumper company wants $3600 (including shipping) for the winch front and matching rear. I want to build this for my truck so bad. Thank you for the inspiration.
I recommend that you leave a small distance between your bumper and the body of the jeep, since in the distance that is now, if you hit something the bumper will completely deform the jeep back
Really nice bumper for that beater Jeep. Nice Job. Just found your channel recently, love it ! And if you start making multiples of things, like the bumper, you set up Jigs. Only the first one takes 10 hrs. Then you've got templates and welding fixturesfor the next 9 , so cutting parts and wellding takes 1/4 the time or even less the more you make.
You want to off-road a GRAND Cherokee? I'm just embarrassed for everyone on that side of the room! Anyway, curiosity got the best of me and I stuck with the vid to the end. I gotta say the workmanship is top notch and the bumper looks pretty bad-ass. Woe to anybody that rear-ends you with that thing! BTW, lovin' that plasma cutter!
I've got a buddy who has an international scout and all he does is take a railroad tie and drill the right holes to mount it. Just replace it if it gets smashed
@@aidanmakinster922 Where are you from? Here in Europe i almost never see wooden ties, almost exclusively metal or concrete ones, hence my comment. The metal ones are also shaped almost like a bumper so there's that.
... Thanks, it's a great video... especially for the ambitious... which @ 72 years old, i'm knot ;) But, i certainly enjoyed watching you. You sure do know your way around a metal shop, so i wish you Good Luck !!
I thought it was going to look ugly but WOW it turned out to look amazing. really good job
Same! As soon as he did the angle piece by the tail light, because of the tail light, I was like nope nope nope. Then I was wrong lol
southseapirate1 me to lol
@@TheWolverine-rm2kr dggssxvvzs
This has not only been the most satisfying video ever in UA-cam history but the best looking damn rear bumper build ever
thanks, make sure to sub... we have lots of good ones!
BleepinJeep oh trust me I am
Damn that bumper turned out badass looking! One of the best video's on here in a long time, love seeing these fabrication video's! Thanks
Hey Matt, Thanks for not giving up on rusty Jeeps. Those of us around the Great Lakes truly appreciate it!
These videos have made me appreciate people with built ZJs even more now. These make XJs look so simple
As someone who has had to struggle with a ZJ rear bumper before, I hate to say it but it makes me feel happy to watch someone else struggle with it.
That bumper you made came out awesome. I've been looking for steel bumpers for my wifes 2006Jeep Grand Cherokee but can't find anything. Guess I'm going to buy some more tools. LOL
N tell your wife did it all for HER

That bumper looks better then most of the ones you can buy for 300 to 500 bucks

+noturfriend421 thanks!
Not sure I like the angles cut in the fender area, I'd have gone with a straight cut, personally, but the rest of the bumper looks pretty amazing!!
i dunno i'd put the rockhard above this one because of how well it blends with the body but this one does look better than quite a few of the bumpers you can buy
I thought it would look really ugly at first, but surprisingly, with the black paint it has a really low profile look to it. Good job!
+Vaktrus thanks!
It's not a bleepin jeep video without Matt! Good job, lost it laughing when u come out of nowhere with the bfh.
How much would it cost to repair a bumper on a jeep grand Cherokee mountain edition or someshit is has little cracks and someone wants me to buy it idk if I should becuse I feel like the bumper replacement will cost like 500$$$ and I cant even find the damn bumper for it

Glad you did some final capping on the bottom of those canted corners. Really cleaned it up
My first video of yours, and easily the best Jeep UA-cam video I have ever watched! Thanks, and I cant wait to watch the rest!
This is maybe the most glorious mod video I've ever seen.
thanx for selling such a high quality bumper for a hundred bux - my order was processed fast and shipped the next day - best hundred i've spent so far on my jeep lol
Thank you for doing what you do. I feel more confident to tackle bumper builds on my ZJ and WJ now.
Some one who is down to earth and explains stuff congrats u earned a sub
I say cut 4" holes in the blocks under the lights and weld on some tabs for reverse/work/or dust lights
You sir, are the Mr. Rodgers of Jeep mods...Great vid :)
I was thinking bob ross but yee
i really like that you give a time estimate for the project featured in the video !
i never keep track of my hours and sometimes wish i did, but i might be better off not knowing how many thousands of hours i sent working on a $700 xj
Loving the Cheap Jeep videos. I just got another 93 ZJ that I have to fix some mechanical issues then start working on the rest.
You have a great talent, Looks really good. Jeep would never had needed the gas tank recall if they had a bumper like that.
just advice for the next guy lock two bolt together, for the rear bumper studs to come out. it'll take some patience, but it can be done. And then soak them in oil, and use a wire brush to remove the crud and then resoak them and good as new haha
Glad you angled the ends to match the angle of the top piece. Looks awesome.
I dont own a jeep. nor do i wish to own one.. I dont need any of the things that you do... but I cant stop watching your videos! great job m8
The best part is having all the required fancy tools, good for you!
Working on building me a happy place/garage.
wow matt, you really went out of your way with this video, this is what we like to see, long and in depth detailed video . keep up the good work, I would also like to purchase some of your shirts.

That bumper/ structural support beam is RAD! It looks really good
Matt, another great, helpful, useful, fun, educational diy jeep grand cherokee video. Thanks for all your effort..
This is one of the first ever bleepinjeep videos I watched years ago, but on an old account. So technically it's been double thumbed by me now 👍👍
my hinest opinion, that looks way better then what they sell at local stores
I'm glad to see that the pull truck is a Tundra and you do actually own something that is reliable (that old pickup)
I think it's awesome how you show what actually happens when trying to remove rusty old stuff on jeeps. Love your videos!
man you have good skills . good hands and tools . that plasma cutter its best. imagine cutting all that thick metal with those discs.
was kinda skeptical on the bumper at first but it turned out really cool! much better looking than half the "custom" bumpers people make
Its always amazing what a man can accomplish, when he puts his mind to something. Good job. I think I might sub. I love all these cheap jeep series. I need a plasma too. I just got a welder, never welded in my life. Thanks for the hard work.
I appreciate that!
@@bleepinjeep subbed! More el cheapo jeepo please! Oh and just you! I dont need 6 other dudes on here. Ur mfer bleepin jeep eh. Alright then
This is the video that hooked me on bleepinjeep and got me on the quest to update my ZJ
It is also nice to extend the bumper out 4 inches from the vehicle, plate the top, and then you create a nice step to stand on to get to the roof rack.
Turned out Great! Ive been wanting to do this for my old toyota but not sure Ill be able to without a plasma cutter. The cuts for the Tow receiver & Tow hooks will be a pain with angle grinder lol :) Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the Video work/editing/music :)
Did not see your vision at first and was questioning your choise of rectangular tubing, but damn the finished product looks great.
Ahh man, I wish we were buds man, I wrote you about a year ago I think asking if I could pay you to swap my transfer case, but you told me about not wanting to be responsible for like legalities and stuff and what not and I completely understand that my dude.

Matt keep up the great work! Without you there wouldn't be as many bleepinjeepers on the road!!!
That's the coolest bumper!!! 😁👍👍
The rear bumper turned out looking pretty nice.
you've gotten badass with that plasma cutter my friend!
$100 and still better looking then some of the ugly crap online, looks awesome
Great Job Matt. the rear bumper came out great. Catching up on Project Cheap Jeep. Awesome work brother.
At first I was wondering wtf you were doing couldn’t be more surprised good shit man
1:20 lmao me every time I work on a car because I live in the north and everything has rust
Love how you tied off to the tree! Badass! That's the way to do er man!
I would like to build a gas tank with a heavy duty skid plate to protect rear-end explosions Jeeps
Biggest problem. Your bumper it a step in the right direction!
Thank you. This could help save lives.
Hearing you say and then witnessing you clean up, I almost fell over.
I’m a clean freak and can’t work until it’s straightened up.
The force is strong with this one
Love it. Great job. I need a bumper for my Sprinter Camper Conversion, especially after kissing a deer. You are an inspiration.
So fun doing the hitch recall at the dealership... those studs never come out up here in Minnesota. Just did one today.
Awesome job! Your videos are always great, keep up the good work.
Damn, he made that look easy 😓. That’s a sick ass bumper. 👍👍👍
With the plasma cutter you could have easily angle cut the 2x6 to match the tailgate better but overall great build man nice to see the cheap jeep videos more
one of the best videos to date. great work.
That's a kick ass bumper!! great video
man I need a plasma cutter
Wow man, you get better and better at this!
Nicely done. I'm not a fan of the jagged cut along the bottom of the sides, but to each their own. Looks super solid. Wish I still had access to a shop.
Hey Matt great Job with the bumper ! awesome work MAN . You inspired me to build ONE
I LOVE your videos. Educational and entertaining! Keep up the great handy work and editing!
From underneath use a small 6” pipe wrench and spin it out. Try heat on the nut inside of frame.
It’s called plasma for a reason.
that turned out good! if you had the resources and of course time you could sell that rear bumper like crazy
A name brand off-road bumper company wants $3600 (including shipping) for the winch front and matching rear. I want to build this for my truck so bad. Thank you for the inspiration.
I recommend that you leave a small distance between your bumper and the body of the jeep, since in the distance that is now, if you hit something the bumper will completely deform the jeep back
Matt, just a suggestion... when using an impact gun, please wear ear protection.
Great video. Great use of music. I envy your fabbing skills and your shop.
Dude you call that cheap i like it man it looks legit
Really nice bumper for that beater Jeep. Nice Job. Just found your channel recently, love it ! And if you start making multiples of things, like the bumper, you set up Jigs.

Matt's sound effects keep me coming back and watching these videos 😂
Nice work, Matt! Simple yet practical.
Dude, that bumper looks bad ass! Good job - subbed!
You want to off-road a GRAND Cherokee? I'm just embarrassed for everyone on that side of the room! Anyway, curiosity got the best of me and I stuck with the vid to the end.

I mean,that thing is going to move like a slouch.
@@lazar2175 the railroad tie is the wood bit.

Here in Europe i almost never see wooden ties, almost exclusively metal or concrete ones, hence my comment.
The metal ones are also shaped almost like a bumper so there's that.
talented skills Matt -awesome bumper
dang thats awesome looks super professional
Really cool vid. I'm loving the cheap jeep, but I wanna see that re gear series get finished! 4.10 on 37" suuuuuucks.
That bumper is sick
that thing looks incredible, nice job dude 👍
Nice work,enjoyed watching you design and build AND install it.
... Thanks, it's a great video... especially for the ambitious... which @ 72 years old, i'm knot ;) But, i certainly enjoyed watching you. You sure do know your way around a metal shop, so i wish you Good Luck !!
i like your style before i thought you are crazy but your work is good, you use the plasma like a pro i like you
great looking bumper... maybe one day with supplies and a garage I can do it!!!
Hell of a job on that. Looks awesome
Love that bumper better than the stock! Nice job!
Excellent video! Interference fit bumper! I like it.
