Another front bumper...

Yup, another bumper to show off.

Some reason my front bumper has made its way far down my priority list over the years... probably due to the complete lack of frontal contact on objects? or need for winching?.... only once wish i had a winch haha. anyhoo

heres what it did look like,


State patrol i quote a few weeks back said i needed to have a STOCK front bumper, because mine wasnt. laugh right? hahah i didnt argue but i thought that was hilarious considering the only stock thing left is my front bumper till this wkend

squeeze the rig in next to the sami that cant move... got enough projects going on? haha





I based it off the Trail Gear winch plate, couldnt really improve on the winch plate and its a good enough starting block. Made life much simpler



we winged this bumper, had an idea what i wanted but just started bending and welding.... few mistakes here in there but it was fun













Cheers!

No idea haven't thought about it. Lol we just do Fab on the side for friends and coworkers right now. All in house too... my rig has a 1" body lift so if u wanted the same angled up look we'd have to drop the bar right down to the hawse. Its HREW 1.75x.120

You know I've never been a big fan of tube bumpers but this one looks really good. Defiantly thinking of ditching my plate bumper for a tube bumper like yours
