ok, cool. I'll take your word for it, Thanks anyway!
The new one is looking great BTW!

Napoleon047

well, after denting my hood such that it would no longer "pop" when i pulled the latch and cracking one of my h4 conversions :pat: i decided that headlight hoops were a necessity



i still havent decided whether or not i like them

What? Those hoops look sweet!! Very nice bumper.

Can ya post a few pics with the front facing the sunlight? All your pics are kinda dark and hard to see detail.

4RunnerKid

looks good. i would run a tube across the stinger right under the grille though... but that's just me.

Napoleon047

visually, yes, that is what it needs. putting that tube there means the winch can no longer be removed.

ill try to remember to take some pics in the sunlight but flat black over flat black isnt exactly the best for contrast

Intrepid

Any side shots? It looks great, but it looks like it only mounts to the actual frame in two places where the stinger part attaches. If that is the case, you might want to consider more connections to the frame, that will make it much stronger, especially if they are on different planes.

Napoleon047

no side shots really, it attaches at the bottom of the stinger to the frame and the spring hanger and then the winch plate is welded to the front x-member and the tube. the bumper is strongest down low where the winch pulss from. the only way to really brace the top part is go through the core support to the frame or to the shock towers, but its strong enough for my uses as is.

here are some better daylight pics as requested


and a side shot:

Yeah baby, looks good.

I hooped the headlights and radiator for the time when it goes over bad just in case.

Tell me about your turn signals.

Napoleon047

my turn signals are $2.99 from the trailer section at autozone. originally i had the turbo blinker problems because of the small bulbs but i went back and found the highest wattage bulb that i could fit in there. now they work normally.

i scored some free LED strips that are 3/4" wide by 12" long i might throw up there but i havent decided.

I think shipping on the bumper ups ground would only be $100 to Kentucky. I'm interested if you want to get rid of the bumper. PM me and we can talk. Do you know how much it weighs?

Napoleon047

sorry its gone, someone came and picked it up

spdjnky

thanks anyway

It looks nice and clean being up tight like that... but there's no room for give! I'd think you would prefer a little room so that if you hit something (or roll) it wouldn't push the bumper into everything it's supposed to protect.

Aside from that, I really like your design!

CGOULET

man your new bumper looks awesome! i love the hoops too

Napoleon047

thanks

Maybe it will be as issue and maybe not but on mine I was worried about pushing the edges back inward if I hit simething hard so I braced straight out from the front hanger to the main tube on the side. It looks like it would be really easy on yours but maybe look funny since you already have a tube on a similar plane just further up/in.

Don't know if it's necessary but I wanted the sides to stay put. I know you already saw this on Pirate but thought I might mention it in case you do have any issues.

Could you get a picture of tha bumper from the top down? I just want to see the location of where the winch plate is setting. Thanks

Napoleon047

i didnt want anything lower than absolutely necessary in front of the tires. to be honest with you, i have needed that extra clearance.

what happened to your thread on pirate? i cant seem to find it

what size are those wal-mart mudders? i ran them back when i had 31's. watch out for the sidewalls.
