Default Looking to build my own bumper

Ok well I'm planning on building my own bumper sometime in the near future, wanna be shooting for something similar to this http://www.jeepinoutfitters.com/images/cf-zjfwb3.jpg
I dont have a bender and would likely be doing this by using heat.
Is there anybody who can give me measurements or tell me how i'm going to be able to accomplish something like this?

I think this guy can sell you one of these bumpers unassembled in pieces if you can weld it together yourself. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=777730

Would you be able to give me a guess on the price? I'm not a member on pirate at the moment. Don't have much to spend

you cannot bend tube the way you want with heat.. not to mention you'd blow through $$$$$$$ in ocy/acl and have a crappy bend

$280 shipped. I saw that in this thread here on CF, look at post # 8 where he states he got it cheap. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/sl...ild-35s-76010/
It shows later on where he installed it.
I'm not on Pirate either...

Well I'm gonna have to think on that because I have almost no money, will just barely have enough for the bumper metal.
On the tube bending thing with heat its well the only method we have unless someone has a bender they will bring down to mineral ridge to use?
