Dont know of this is the place for this but whatever, i was wondering if anybody had any homegrown plans for front and rear bumpers to get rid of the stock crome bumpers, like on All-Pro's website or TG's website. just got a welder and some steel and wanted to weld up some custom bumpers. Anybody have some plans and pics of there custom bumpers, or at least some measurements??

 

Anybody? or some good websites for some custom bumpers for my 2nd gen?

 

get a cheap tube bender and go nuts. Make your own design.

Or buy bumpers from marlin or all pro.

 

Mine, they are both purchased rather than built, but I couldn't be happier with the design/looks.

this is the front winch bumper i built w 1 3/4" tube.

 

What is the purpose of the bumper shooting up in the air like that? Since you called it a winch bumper, I guess the cable goes through there but I still don't really get why they make bumpers like that...

 

does the winch being right there block much air flow?

 

Check out the link below for pix of mine and Molly's.

The part sticking up is referred to as a stinger. It is intended to help prevent an endo rollover, and to protect the radiator in case of a roll onto the roof. Sometimes, it can be used as a ramp to help get you started onto steep, tall ledges.

 

that thing that is shooting up in the air is known as a stinger. its meant for if you are driving across a large crack that you thought you could make it across but in all reality you cant the stinger will lay over on the other side and keep you from rolling your truck.
