ShowTime Metal Works

2008badlander · Dec 28, 2014

Hey guys, here's a bumper I haven't seen too much of on this website. I just picked it up last week. They're called ShowTime Metal Works. It came powdercoated black but I talked to the guy and got mine black and adobe to match my truck. A guy on a 6.7 facebook page told me about them. Figured I would let y'all know if you wanted something that was different. Anyway, here's some pictures!

Looks awesome!
But how is it built ?
Think it'll stand up to abuse ?

Nice, is there a place for a winch?

There was someone on FB earlier with this same bumper claiming it was a one off built by him and that he hand cut everything lol. Sure wish i could find that post again

Looks sick! I just came across these bumpers not too long ago and have been debating on getting one. How was the fit and finish? Does it show a lot of frame and under the grille? Also I noticed on there site that they were built for the rogue brand of led bars. Think any 40" bar would mount up? Thanks for any info.

Looks good! The STMW guys are a great group.

Really nice bumper. STMW did the powder coating for you? They matched it perfectly.

Cool, but looks like sheetmetal? what gauge/thickness?

I was thinking the same. From their site:
STMW bumpers are fabricated using:

– 2x2” 11 GA. Square tubing ASTM-A-500

– 3/16” side plates/center section ASTM-A-36

– 1/4” mounts – ASTM-A-36

From looks, it does look quite tough. Its not as heavy duty as my Tough Country replacement I had before but this one does look like it will take a beating.

As of right now there is not, when the guys were mounting it I asked them. They said they're in the process of making something that would work with a winch.

I didnt buy the Rouge bars for the fact that they're high dollar! I bought a set of 40s off ebay for significantly cheaper. Everything fit nice and looks good IMO.

They have a guy who isnt too far away from him who does the powdercoat. They did the adobe and I believe a type of clear over it and it matched perfectly.

As Cbrown stated from their website
STMW bumpers are fabricated using:

– 2x2” 11 GA. Square tubing ASTM-A-500

– 3/16” side plates/center section ASTM-A-36

– 1/4” mounts – ASTM-A-36

– Powder coated in standard black (Custom colors available)

I'm confident in the bumper if I were to hit something. The lightbars.... yeah they're probably toast if I hit something lol
