looks beef .....nice work be sure to post some pics with it mounted...

I can run a bead a hell of a lot straighter than I can hold a camera apparently.

was your camera drunk?

A little grindin and paint, but nice bumper. I like simple designs. Nice havin a bumper thats bullet proof. Trick is keeping the weight under 200 lbs. Especially when a winch is involved. You also could have gotten away with just notching the top and bottom, then bending the face.

That was the original plan but I didnt have a long enough piece to do that even once. I would say the weight is under 150 not to bad to pick it up at all. Thanks for the complement, seeing you avatar picture I see your a hell of a fabricator. Let me try a picture again.

Gotcha. Didn't realize you weren't working with a full length piece. You doin a receiver winch?



Thanx. Ya been workin in that field for a bit. But always appreciate other design ideas. Especially ones that can turn a deer into swiss cheese without any damage. :safari:


Heres a closer look at mine before the cage went on. This was when I was goin for a pretty'r look.

I work as a logger so I have a lot of saws and a couple winches that mount to the saw and a 2 inch receiver, they work pretty decent. Deer protection was a top priority, and your bumper looks great.

Thanx. Ya that will work awesome.

needs to be narrowed up a bit ,,, maybe angle the bottom up at the outside like ThatGuy1295's bumper.... but once again beef. Your going to win a confrontation with most anything .

certainly nothing wrong with simple, home built is always cool

Looks awesome

finished the wings, started to work on diamond plate for the top

That thing is HUGE! Looks pretty good, actually :great: Paint it!!! (When you're done)

Are you welding ALUMINUM diamond plate to the STEEL bumper??

:good:

That auto correct is wacky, makes it look like I'm not drinkin enough either. :drunk:

What kind of welding u doing on it? MIG? TIG? ARC?
