the worst way of spending $75 is buying browndogs motormounts classic polyurethane these things really sucks.

they are very cool, they made my truck a 2tons *****.
every single vibration from the engine run across the unibody and finally my ***, it sucks.
maybe the soft polyurethane are not that vibrating but i have read a lot about motormounts and they say that are too soft . well idont know i just hate those fkers.

here they are




look close to the polyurethane in this last picture, this mount is smaller than the other one and is geting out WTF!! something is wrong with this guys (thought they were thw best)

 

go with oem motor mounts, they were in there for a reason. haha

also...the weight reduction sounds awesome. the weight of all that crap is pretty insane. cant wait to see what the new bumper looks like!

 

Whaaattt...My bumper has a billion gussets and a whole bunch of chit on the inside of it and it probably just touches 80 maybe 90 lb.
It's because their polyurethane. A rubber motor mount carries a lot less vibration, if any at all, to the rest of the body.

 

so i´ll try their rubber bushing and if not the OEM, why a lot of people say theyre happy with this polyurethane motormounts??? there are tons of them in the market M.O.R.E., daystar, browndogs, irnman... and more.

 

yesterday i worked so hard and i´m happy with the 15lb i cut from the front bumper (still need arround 15 hours to finish it)



well your interested on the bumpers so lets start.

i have no gusset just 1/2 and 1/4 stuff
look my maths were wrong haha sorry...

this is the front bumper...


rear bumper 97lbs + 77lbs 33" tire + 88lbs tire carrier =262
front bumper 192lbs (more than me) +99lbs winch.....=291
now its not absurt now it is sick.

 

i started here this is the new look at the front







! LOOK MA a zombie killer !


maybe 3lbs less

 

not bad. i would build a cheaper bumper haha...thats still a ridiculous amount of weight

 

wow it looks like you have a long piece of at least 6 in channel under there, thats probably why your bumper weighs so much.

 

and continue cutting and grinding.
i want so much a welder machine so i can build a super high clearance bumper with a 9.0 rock crawler warn winch under the radiator. its a lot of space under there. but thats will be some day.

lets continue...

me and a friend spent hours taking the front bumper out.

 

Damn son! That's a BIGASS bumper! I like how you're making it a high clearance bumper, looks great! Can't wait to see more.

 

i stoped cuttig because my mom is sick and the grinder makes so much noise for her, but i start masking the bumper for future cuts, i think i have to much for cutting. and at least i´ll take 6 stainless steel discs.

what do you think???

i´m afraid about cutting the 1/2 plate i think it will be double hard haha

 

Wait, Why are you cutting the mounting plates down? I would keep them the size they are for extra mounting strength. Cutting 1/2" plate with a grinder is gonna be a pain in the *****, it will take a long time. I cut my 1/2" and even 3/8" plate with an oxyacetylene torch.

 

thats why its so dam heavy, its all 1/2 inch - 1/4 inch plate haha

 

Pretty much lol. Mines 3/16" 3/8" and 1/2"

 

i´ll just cut one side because i want to run again a swaybar, and that last bolt hits the mount when flexing a bit so i´ll shave it abit haha.
a friend of mine has a stainlessteel shop and he offers me tu but my bumper with the torch as you say, and i´m really considering because its gonna be hard to cut that *****.

i want a 3/16 bumper now hahahaha
