all that is left is to drill my D ring holes and bolt it back on
Pics of Bumper mounted tomorrow mayby....
Then on to the back bumper/ Tire carrier Build

 

Looks damn good! What did you cut your pieces with? What kind of welder do you have?

 

Portable band saw Hobart Handler 187 220V
Thanks, Wish I had made the front from 4" plate now that I am looking at building a rear bumper

 

well I couldnt wait
Put it on and sprayed my headlight bezels too
as it stands I have $20 in this bumper For primer and spray bedliner
Unless you count buying another bottle of gas and some more saw blades
In which case I guess I have $60 total in it





Might just have to build another one with a 4" front face

 

That looks pretty great. What thickness did you use? you said add 1/2inch to get to 3/4 so did you use 1/4inch on the whole thing?

 

Came out awesome!!!

 

Nice!

 

looks awesome man !!! been much easier drilling out the d rings before install I wish you luck on that one !!!

portabands the only way to go!!!

 

all i can ask is.... can you please share some measurements that thing is sick

 

the skin and gussets are all made form 10 gauge. I know a bit light but it was all free scrap. Would of preferred 3/16"
The Tie ins are 1/4" plate with 1/2" taps added to make the 3/4" clevis points

I know I should of drilled the 7/8"<-Typo Brain Fart. I drilled 15/16"> holes first. But I got in a big hurry :\

what measurements you want?

 

Dude that's pretty dang hot nice work

 

Nice build ! I have the same welder .

 

Thanks, I am pretty happy with it for my first bumper build
