Building a bumper

weazel · Feb 26, 2012

Hey guys I have a buddy and me and him started building a bumper for my truck thought I would share, it is 3/16 steel so far we have about 7 hours in it, mostly goofin off too

looks good but I dont like how it sticks out further than the fender on the side. If it met the edge of the fender PERFECTION, but still looks good dont get me wrong.

Thanks man, I see what you are saying. I was going for a more bulging look.

Very cool! I love custom bumper threads

Are you going to powder coat it or paint it?

I'd hate to see the rear bumper you built to lift the front end that far off the ground in the last pic...

LOL

Seriously though it looks great!

Well thanks guys to answer the questions, probably paint it for now and PC later, I'm ballin on a budget right now. And the rear bumper is a 12" steel pipe with cement in it, just kidding it is on stands to make it easier to work on. Should get to work on it this weekend so more pics soon.

Thats the look I was going for, huge and menacing. It is to get the slow pokes out of the fast lane and out of my way

It looks great. I like the big heavy bumpers that you don't have to worry about. Hook a small tree or maybe a Prius, No Problem! Are you planning on running a winch or maybe some kind of push bar on it?

I'm gonna put a pre-runner type bar on it. It will be set up for a winch to be installed but I don't have one to mount now. I have been working on it today. I have to go to a birthday party and then back at it

Good looking bumper! a little bulbous for me, but looks good. I have been wanting a off road bumper for a while now.

Sorry for the long delay but I have been busy. But it is finished (and has been for a while) it fits great it is mounted good and strong and I love the look
