Default Another bumper build.

I built a bumper a couple weeks ago and thought i would share it. i didnt take very descriptive pictures but i made the frame of the bumper out of 2in sqaure pipe and covered the top with plate along with the bottom. I think it turned out quite nice. I wish i had a winch on it instead lights but i am only 17 and in highschool and dont have a hunk of money to spend. all of the metal costed $96 dollars ( a hundred dollar bumper!). sorry i didnt think of taking pictures during the actual build till after i was almost done.

very nice fab work for only 17 there is no way i would have been able to build that at 17. Looks very good you should try to get some schematics up or something..or start building and selling them cheap you could make some good money.

Thanks for all the nice comments. i figured many people would not have liked it and said it was overkill. i know it is a little...

Here are some pictures that are a little blurry but they show how i did it.

i will post pics of the underneath tomorow. while uploading the pictures i noticed on my mounting plates the bolt holes are actually further back.
