Built the rear bumper from scratch using nothing more than a 4" angle grinder a flux core welder and some simple hand held tools. Still need to brace the side peaces with some 3/16" square tubing for that added strength. And add some mounts for "D" rings on the 2x4 section. Also installed the TJM after a little road trip to Little Rock to pick it up.

 

nice work dude! looks good

i want to build something similar to this, so thank you for the great pics along the build up.

 

Looks pretty good man.

 

Yea thats pretty cool man you should make a couple more and ship one out to me. Ill even pay for the materials, what you think lol just kiddin love the bumper tho

 

very nice work

 

Thanks guys! I followed BruceTS bumper build and it made life very easy. Took me about 24 hours to get it to where it is right now. Still have a few minor things I want to do to it but overall I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Very nice, I am looking at doing something like this, this winter, it is nice to see someone building something very functional and sharp looking.

 

Freakin sweet man!!

 

Very nice piece of work. Really goes good with the rest of your truck, nice job!

 

Sweet bumpers man. What kind of front bumper is that

 

Nice..

 

Howd you do the rounded edges?

 

That's HOTT.
Well Done!

 

looks good!

how's it been holding up?

 

Could you give me an idea of the build cost?

 

What kind of welder you used? Like amp? I am shopping around to start on my own project. Thanks

 

Bumper looks great, I will probably fab something from scratch for my 95, your pics will hep me.

 

Sorry to grave dig on this one but what'd you use to cut the plate?

EDIT: never mind "4" angle grinder"

 

All hail the mighty angle grinder. Such a useful tool!
