i dont ever think to use the camera until i get done with stuff. a little a.d.d. or tunnel vision, i dont know. but any ways, this is how the front started out.

and this was the end result.




to give some specs on it ill start with the fact that i originally made that and mounted it on my 76 chevy 3/4 ton a while back(minus the tubing). i pulled it from that and cut the ends down to fit the width of the yota. the winch tray was made from 3/16 plate and i realized that was stupid and weak so i i layered on another coat of 3/16 plate to bring it up to strength. to make the ends i also used 3/16 and where the military shackles are bolted on i doubled the plate again just cause thats what i do. there are a total of 8 bolts holding the bumper on and 4 more will be added soon. oh, and yes she is a tad heavy but not as bad as you might think.

 

I like the bumper and the doggies

 

Like you I also never think to have the camera during the building stage.

I think it has something to do with damage to a expensive camera and being focused on the job at hand.

Cute Dogs !!

 

That thing is sick! will someone on here take a hint and manufacture some cool bumpers like this one please! No one gets it, all that is out there is cookie cutters. Good work looks mean as hell

 

thanks guys. im considering makin a few more for the heck of it to have on standby for future rigs since i have alot of spare time nowadays. ill do some build pics then.
