  • Bull bar/Roll cage fabrication

    Starting tis topic for suggesions and help to source contacts to have a bull bar/Roll cage fabricated

    I’m currently looking for some good fabricator, who can fabricate a bull bar/ roll cage for my Jeep. I’m from bangalore and i’m trying to source someone in
    Bangalore, who can do it in 2 1/2 " ( two and a half inch ) pipe. I did come across someone who heats the pipe and then bend it for the roll cage.
    But, those will not give a good finish at the bends. So, i’m trying to find someone who has the cast to bend the 2 1/2 " pipe for a good finish.

    The same person that i’m refering to, does it in a 2" pipe and bends it with the cast but dos not have a cast for the 2 1/2 ", but I want a 2 1/2 " one that will blend with my jeep.

    Request the guru’s out here to give your suggestons or help me with contacts you are aware of for this to complete this on my Jeep for me.

  • Dream come true – with my SWB

    From my childhood i have been fancying anything and everything that has wheels, so every opportunity i had, i have utilized to bring out my personality through mods on my acquired wheels, be it a 2 wheeler or a 4 wheeler.

    Here goes my part on the SWB that bought.

    It was way back in my college days that i had seen a Classic and used to druel over its charms, i was smitten then. But, I’m from a family that has come up from a lower middle class and years of family savings to a standard of living. So during those college days, it was no mullah or very little mullah, so fancying and dreaming was it. Now that I’m into a job and could afford to make my dream come true, the search for a Classic started sometime a year back from now.

    Two months pasted no luck, not that i didn’t find any, but every piece that i saw was badly maintained or needed a lot of effort and time to bring it back to a good condition. Finally, my search came to an end when i spotted a SWB – CJ3B fitted with a X3DP 4X4 through my internet search. Fixed an appointment with Jammy Anand and went by his place to take a look. i fell in love with the jeep the minute i saw it ( love @ first sight kinds 😀 ). The negotiations happened and was settled in a weeks time. You can see the jeep in its original avatar when i picked it up here http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/4×4-ve…ep-pics-7.html towards the end of the page.

    Recently i did it up with a little cosmetic changes and a little repairs to bring to good condition.

    Paint was maintained to the same shade as it was as i liked it, but changed to a dull finish.

    While it was taken for the refurbish –
