Wild Wicked & different Bumper idea
Had a Vision for a new front bumper, something wild, wicked and different. I love building stuff.
So here is the concept..................planning on doubling the lower outside gussets with a spacer sleeve for a clevis attachment point.

No offense but what are you smokin'? I went to FabFours website didn't see a bumper like that at all, they have big huge bulky things that look good on big pickups, did I miss something?

not sure why you are mentioning having this come off a Jeep when that is clearly a Toyota in the pic

Bumper parts
Hoped to have the parts from the plasma shop today but the .dwgs I sent were messed up so I sent new ones today, so maybe Friday if I'm lucky. Also found a 2nd gen IFS frame for cheap, thinking about getting it for mocking up bumpers on, you know make a fixture from it.

Ww&d
Picked up the cut and bent parts today, Yes it looks as cool as it did in the solid model. Now the question is doI put it on my Toyota or my daughters Tacoma? Life is so rough! I'll post pics before I start of the parts and of course as I go. Gotta run to Portland this weekend to pick up a trans. so maybe I can get it going next week.
