hey i have a 1st gen runner w/31's and 3L. i got in an extremely physical argument with a very big ass buck the other day and my front bumber and all mounting brackets are f@#$ed up. I would love to fab some thing custom and im looking for ideas/ pics. thanks

 

Check out allpro and marlincrawler

 

Sorry, but search through the users rigs section.

Tons of pictures of mine at the link below

 

Check out 4X innovations and WabFab as well. They have some trick front bumpers and if you are looking to build your own, they have the winch plate to start with. I'm stoked because my Marlin Rear bumper just got here this morning. I'm itching to quit work today, paint and install!! Anyway, linkies...

i like the one from addicted offroad.

 

My homebuilt rear

 

Here is one that Scott made. I love it!!

 

Here is my Bumper. Its an allpro with a custom stinger and side hoops. I also had a support from each corner of the bumper welded to the frame.

 

damn... I need a better job.

 

Home made, centrer is a Trail-gear style winch mount plate, 3" sq tube welded to sides, side bars are 2".

 

The last thread you will ever need to look at for bumper ideas...

Am I the only one who thinks huge stingers are disgusting?

 

No... Lol.

But what I've noticed in wheelin' is, the more ugly it is, the more functional it is.

 

stingers are so '84.
