I dont really have plans. I made a cardboard template first, cut the pieces out and then just kind of made it work as I went.

Thanks guys

Plans are for sissys....J/K! But honestly I hate plans...I can weld descent...but cannot draw plans to save myself...I even took a blueprinting class and still cannot draw...I can read em like no one's business though!

lol i only ask cuz i am looking at making a bumper and thats almost exactly what i want...haha and my shop teacher needs some kind of idea on what im going to make and so i can put a bill of materials together too

Wow. Great job on the bumper!! I have not made mine yet and I have never welded before but I have a friend with a welder hopefully he will help me out. I can't imagine making one like that though. Mine is going to be simple tube front and back with recovery points.

Excelent work though!

looks good man! i was gonna say do something about those welds but your right, with the bedliner you wont need to worry about it.

bellcastfab

wow not to be a dick or anything, but where did you learn to weld???

i know, those welds suck, but i haven't welded since high school, and that was over 20 years ago.
i used to be pretty good back then, but haven't quite figured it out again yet.

i have a few welders now, but not alot of scrap metal to burn up yet.
but they're slowly getting better, i'm kinda getting the hang of it again.
that was the first thing i've welded up since highschool.

the welds are strong tho, i've tested that out before it hit the trails.

here's some since.

You running 6010 or 7018? Or something close to those?

NewXJaddict, not trying to be a dick but build your own, make your own design, thats most of the fun in it knowing that you designed and built it how you want it. It just adds to the fun when people compliment your work. Good luck with your build tho and i would like to see it when your done.

Just started on my rear bumper. It is made out of 2x4 3/16 wall squar tubing and 2x2 3/16 for the tire carrier. I went with a trailer hub for the spindle since my dad had one laying around. I will try to get some pics up soon.

thanks
