im not sure i would go quite as thick as he did, but it sure beats the worlds most expensive pieces of breakible plastic

 

Dang thanks for the thread I posted a thread on jeep forum to but haven't gotten a response. That guy can fab dang that was nice

 

If you are going to make them I am definitely going to be a buyer (if the price is decent that is)

 

What do you consider decent. People pay $450 for crap that breaks the first time it hits a tree.

i guess my question is what would you guys pay for something like that? They are very labor intensive and will not turn out very fast, but man i hate bushwackers (so pretty but break and are way outa my price range)

 

I am not sure I am guessing with the steel and everything about 450-500 would prob be decent, anything more, and I could probably make them myself

 

im still waiting to sell my truck so i can go but a new plasma cutter. then ill see what i can do

 

cool I will look at making it myself in a couple of months if nothing comes up before then

 

Ya I can make them myself I might do that and save myself some money.

 

im all about making stuff my self. for what people pay for bumpers and stuff like that the can own a nice welder and buy enough metal to build lots of stuff

 

yeah I just gotta find someone with a tube bender and then I might be able to do it myself, I can weld but i'm not great at it, but half the fun is building it, the more I think about it the more I think I am going to do this myself.

 

dont bend it. cut angles and seem weld them together and grind smooth, not as strong but works (check out my bumper pics in albums if you want a good example)

 

ok thanks for the info, btw very nice bumper, looks like I might be busy this weekend, what size thickness for steel did u use on you bumper??

 

Ya deff make angles keep from any wrinkles on the inside of the pipe. Thanks i'm gonna start on this right after I get my 4.88 gears. Not this friday but next i'm gettin my 4.88 and gettin rid of these 4.10. Hopefully it will help my axles push 35"

 

2x4 3/16s wall for the main body. rest is 1.75 roll cage tubing (.125 i think) and the plates that mount it are 1/4

 

wanna mail me your 4.10s for giving good advice?
