thanks, yeah it was definatly the cheaper route. its 3/16 plating but i couldnt tell you how much there was we had a lot of it and i think 1/2 inch for mounting brackets... stinger was inch and 3/4 tubing and we just used a pirahna to bend it and plasma to cut and our trustee lincoln to weld it.

that thing looks solid. nice work. i prefer plate bumpers over tube myself.
i wish i knew some place to get plate bumpers that are identical in shape to the square, first-gen 4Runner bumpers, but made of quality steel.
maybe you n' grandpa can churn a few out for sale? (wishful thinking)

really coming along well. can't wait to see it installed.
oh hey, have you considered some sort of stone protection for the signals? maybe a little steel mesh, or even get crafty with some speaker grille type material?

Good looking bumper man... Not a stinger man myself I prefer the moose bar style like you see on the Dodge in the background... easier to drive with in tight urban traffic and lets folks know you are'nt going to get hurt if you bump into them if they don't get out of the way LOL
For coating I'd consider using POR15... it comes in many colours and will stand up better than powdercoat or paint...
