Default Bumper complete, ready for paint:

I got the front bumper completed last night, and it's ready to paint. Let me know what you guys think. I think it turned out great, even though I've been working on it for over a year off and on!!!











I hadn't ran a real bead in about three years, so needless to say my first couple of beads weren't the best!! After I got the cob webs knocked loose, it started going better!!

Sorry, I'll be the only person on the planet with this bumper. I have too much other stuff to do to my rig to start thinking about building these for other people. Down the road I would like to get into it though.

The bumper tubing is 3/16, and the mounting plates are 3/8.
