new to this site, so i didn't know if there is a search part but i was wondering what you all do for bumper brackets? I have an 86 toyota pickup efi and i am making a bumper for it but just wondering how you guys mount them on if you can just buy a nice bracket or if its just as easy making one.

thanks
Jerid

 

Copy the factory bumper mounts or buy a premade bumper like I sell.

:wabbit2:

 

you could also check out like a winch mounting plate and build off that. Thats what i might be doing if I dont buy an assembled bumper.

The previous poster WABFAB sells the mounting plate I think, if not trail-gear.com

 

Oh, are you talking about a front or rear bumper?

 

a front bumper

 

I agree with WABFAB,

either build your own modeling the factory concept, or BUild a complete bumper like he AND I sell. I also sell Lasercut bRackets for the Do-It-yourselfer, but I do not have any brackets for Front Bumpers. If your next step is a Rear bumpers though, I sell some pretty sweet Brackets kits for the rear. Thanks and good luck

I made my own front bumper brackets many years ago to mount up a front bumper I bought:

Still going strong, I have slightly modified the brackets a little other the years to raise the bumper up a few inches and to tie it into my front spring hanger.

 

Since everyone else is doing it... Copy factory mounts, or buy one like we sell at Perkins Performance

 

Nice looking bumpers by the way. Nothing wrong with a little self promotion huh..lol. join the crowd

 

Haha thanks man, yours looked pretty good too! Im a personal fan of diamond plate
