ok just a start stock bumper was hosed about 2 hrd of cutting and welding

the corners will be mitered back both pieces cut at a 15 degree to make a 30 degree corner will match the body andle well. goiing to cap the ends and us as an air tank boxed out for a winch most will fit have a 22 inch openin to go into

need to get some tubing to wrap lights and front grill

btw not serious into rock crawling more mudding figured the 6 3/8 od pipe would serve well for pushing as well

the weight factor about 135 pounds the ibeam bracket alone are about 8 pounds a piece.

wanted something unique most are small round tube or are square tube or fabed

something to set my self apart

Thats big, you could put it on a train but still deffinently post up afters...

good work im too much of a chicken ÅÅÅÅ to build my own front bumper

 

Looking good...Cool to see your trying to build your own front bumper,Hope it turns out like you want. Myself i like the looks of my ( SMITTYBILT ) tube bumpers

 

redid the bumper had an epiphany

reloacte the turn signals and temp mounted the license plate

 

i guess bigger is better now go smash some cars and tell us how it held up lol looks pretty sweet

 

good stuff, with a shot of black paint/herculiner/etc.. that will look right nice..wouldnt want you tailgating me.

 

That thing is montstrous! I don't know if I'd trust the shackles though... I would maybe add some plate steel to give it some shape. As it is right now, it seems unfinished.

 

more added

 

its big, and its different...but i like it

 

Yeah... it's a minimal addition but really evens it out... I like it!!

 

Wasnt to sure about the firs couple of pics..but the end results are awesome! Nice work, i'm diggin it!

 

I'm sorry but that's too red neck for my tastes.
It would be fitting on a Chevy but not on a Toyota.

 

Ever thought of filling it with air? Looks like a good storage tank if sealed properly.

 

I agree with the above about using it as an air tank,It also looks like it could put a hurtin' on a Deer or two

 

I don't like it, but that doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not you're happy with it.

It should hold up fine.

 

do you have an ex wife that you need to run over? that bumper is huge i thought you might have built it with someone in mind!!!!

 

Totally agree. That would be awesome.

 

that was my intentions will drill and tap an air fitting to it with a pressure relief valve / guage set up

for now was just going to fill it at the gas station

will figure out an on board air solution later

 

I think your on to something with the turn signal relocation. I've been toying with a few ideas. hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

i know alot of pepole just leave em of the turnsignals that is or put em into the bumper

but the front grill is jsut beggin for some plastic surgery

and in the location i put em the stock wires reach with out splice the harness
