Well, summer is here and im in the fabbin mood.
I found a friend with a hydrolic tubing bender and i still have my cousins mig welder.
I am going to be making my own front and rear bumpers as well as sliders.
I would like the help of everyone here to come out of this with no regrets, and lookin great.

Sliders: These will be the first to be made.
They will be 6legs(3 ea.) with rear kickouts.
The open space between bars will be covered with steel diamond plate to increase versatility as a step.

I need measurements and pictures of some sliders and angles to work with.

Front Bumper:
I am actualy looking for a reason to do this one as i am not a fan of the big baja style hoop on the front and will not be running a winch. i may just stick with my push bumper.

Rear Bumper:
This is going to be inspired by one CBI has done with a sway away tire carrierr. Will have a custom plate mount with aux reverse lights. Anything you wish you could have here? Will have diamond plate covering here old bumper once was.


All will be dont out of HREW tubing. What are some general prices and places to find this stuff?

ABout how many feet should I need?


Thank you everyone in advance, all your help is greatly appriciated.
Keep a look out for results in the next few months!!!

measure it out with cardboard, or just use a tape measure. If you cant measure it yourself, how are you going to fab it yourself?

You should check out marlin bumpers, bentup bumpers, and perhaps other companies for pre-fab stuff. Any local steel yard will have the steel you need.
