Default another bumper

got bored at work, decided to finally make a bumper. mounts are 1/4 inch, main parts are 3/16" and clevis tabs are cnc'd out of 1" plate.

cutting 1/4" for the frame tie ins

punching the mounting holes


tie ins mounted

center tacked on

all tacked up minus clevis tabs and receiver

cutting the clevis tabs on the water jet

all done and painted


And it doesn't just look pretty, it works!!
