This weighs a ton! only cost me $200 dollars in materials. Square tubing, round tubing, and 1/4" plate steel. I'm currently working on my rear bumper. Feel free to give comments or suggestions for my rear bumper or this one. I'm planning on putting rock sliders on, and eventually doing a SAS with 4-link front and rear susp.

 

dang thats some bumper how long did that take to make

 

i like it but it needs some of these for turn signals

 

It took about maybe 40 hours to build. not real sure. just did it in the evenings for a couple of months. and as for the turn signals...... Yeah not exactly D.O.T. legal, but they got me through when all of my auto parts stores were closed late sunday night.

 

Just relocate your turn signals to your side markers.

 

Beefy? Yes!

But, holy shnikes you destroyed the approach angle!

 

until i put my lift on

 

X2!

Its still going to be bad as long as you have that extra foot of winch stickin off the bumper

 

Looks like his winch is removeable, so I don't think he has destroyed his approach angle quite that bad.

Looks no worse than an ARB to me as far as angle. I'd say nice work.

 

dam good job on that thing man how about some pix of the way you mounted it. and the underside

 

Yes, but when do you most often need approach angle? Offroad
When do you most often need the winch? Offroad

I'd hate to lug that thing on and off every time i got stuck, and plug in the wires while me or a buddy is in need of a pull.

The bumper itself looks good though, props

 

That ain't exactly a compliment ...

 

yeah, the actual approach angle is not that bad once the winch is taken off. I mounted the receiver back in enough so that it does not stick out hardly at all. I'm still waiting on my quick connectors for my winch, and i'm thinking of mounting those up on top by the grill, so they don't get damaged or crudded up with mud on the underside there. I made the winch plate so i can stick it in the rear end and throw it inside when i'm done for the day. people around here like to steal stuff off of you rig.

 

i'll post some pics of the underside and stuff soon

 

Looks like it'll definitely scrape due to the approach angle. But hey, looks like you built it tough enough to handle anything you throw at it. You might have do be doing a lot of touch-up work, but that's no big deal. Nice work
