Hey huntingman are you going to do a pickup or having it shipped?

 

Cheaper to ship... unless ur going that way and then ill come see you... LOL...

 

Its 6 1/2 hours for me.....i was thinkin front and rear so would be cheaper to pick up.....but i have a pending sale now....

 

Could you do one like Huntingmans and add a couple of fog light tabs?Or do you think I could just drill holes in it?

 

buy the lights... and the tabs thats come with it weld them to the bumper using the bolt holes instead of bolting them on... just kinda fill the bolt holes with weld kinda thing... this saves from drilling a hole and creating a possible weak point in the bumper

 

Good advice on keeping it strong.BUT.... my lights didnt come with tabs and if I could weld I wouldnt be buying a bumper,so I need pre welded on tabs

 

Pics and demensions will be needed then of the lights you have... I'm sure he could do that if u provide the information needed...

 

Finally, a non-winch version. I have no desire or need for a winch. Please post more pics of this one from different angles. You could have a sale ...

By the way, I have a front hitch which I don't plan to get rid of. Would your bumper and my hitch co-exist? Pics: It's tucked up right under the stock bumper, and the receiver is actually touching by a hair.

 

hook me up this is what im working with Photo0128.jpg

 

maybe a plain bumper with a hitch plug in built in? they sell the hitch just by itself at tractor supply for $30... thats what i used to build my old back bumper... already pre made... just gotta cut a hole in the front slide it in and weld it up... then if you ever did need a winch you could keep one on a hitch plate and plug it in to the front or back... but still have the clean look...

 

Call me paranoid, but I don't trust anyone's bumper on a hard pull. Doesn't matter who made it. So I'd prefer to keep the hitch for pulling and get a bumper for bashing. Right now my stock bumper and brackets have been "tweaked" from my last trip to Rausch (see pic). It's not bad, but it's all the excuse I need .

 

Just to clarify(as I only skimmed all these pages), this front bumper DOES support a winch, correct? Does anyone have pix of one mounted?

 

I was wondering if you started using 1/4 inch for the flat part where the winch would mount and for the frame brackets like u had said u might do?? that would sure make it alot stronger espically for winching!

 

I like the huntingman style one also. But where the D-rings hook it looks Puny. Can ya beef it up anymore.

Also you never showed how your rear bumper mounts. Do you use the frame with nut strips or just the 4 mounting screws on each side.

Doing some good work for what appears to be a great price. You have me interested.

 

I can add on about what ever you guys want just cant do tube yet, my rear bumpers mount with the 4 bolts you have, any ? or want to buy just email me at littleleonard2008@yahoo.com
